Survival MMO Dune: Awakening suffers a last-minute, 3-week delay because it’s “a beast of a game,” and now it’s landing right alongside Switch 2 and Summer Game Fest

Long-awaited survival MMO Dune: Awakening is going to keep everyone awaiting just a little bit longer, as developer Funcom has just announced a three-week delay to the game’s impending release. The devs say this’ll give them more time to polish the hugely ambitious title, but it’s now going to be landing just as the entire gaming world’s interest turns to Switch 2 and Summer Game Fest 2025.

“We will be moving the release date of Dune: Awakening to June 10,” Funcom says in a statement posted to social media, “with head start launching on June 5. This is not a decision we take lightly, we know everyone is very excited to get playing, but these three extra weeks will give us the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one.”
