Crafting, looting, scavenging, and survival are the fabric of Dune: Awakening. It closely follows the premise of the Dune universe, and its release date and start times are vital information for survivors who are looking forward to skirting around sandworms.
The Dune universe started as an award-winning series of books. Since then, we’ve had big-hit movies and game adaptations. The most recent playable variation was 2022’s Dune: Spice Wars. Now, Funcom is taking over all roles by developing and publishing Dune: Awakening.
With a ton of source material and ideas in the tank, the growing fanbase is eager to get its feet dusty.
Dune: Awakening Release Date
Dune: Awakening has a revised release date of June 10 and will be released exclusively on PC to start.
If you’ve been following Dune: Awakening‘s progress, you’ll know this wasn’t the original release date. Funcom initially planned a May 20 launch date for the sci-fi survival title.
The company had to pivot to June 10, though, due to a sight release delay. The reason was for minor tweaks and to add a final level of polish to what already looks like an impressive and spellbinding spectacle. It’s attracted hundreds of thousands of wishlist entries on Steam, and there’s more than a handful of players looking to explore Dune: Awakening’s world.
