Dune: Awakening Delayed for Improvements
Dune: Awakening, the highly anticipated game, has been postponed to June 10. Funcom announced this decision after receiving feedback from beta testers. The extra three weeks will allow the team to enhance the game and ensure a better experience for players right from launch. A head start for eligible players is set to begin on June 5.
Early Access and Impressions
Despite the delay, journalists and content creators are currently exploring early sections of the game. Their reviews will be available starting April 25,so keep an eye out for their insights.
Positive Aspects of Delays
While delays can be disappointing, they often lead to better outcomes. It’s preferable for a game to launch later in a polished state than risk releasing with bugs that could tarnish its reputation. Funcom believes this delay will also allow them to host a important beta weekend next month, giving more players an chance to try out Dune: Awakening before its official release.
Game Features and Developer Commitment
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as an aspiring multiplayer survival experience on a grand scale. They are making notable advancements in gameplay mechanics that have not been seen in similar games before. The developers emphasize their commitment to delivering a high-quality product.
Upcoming Live Stream Event
Today at 12 PM ET/9 AM PT, there will be a live stream featuring developers discussing combat elements of the game. This event may provide further insight into why they decided on this delay.
Character Creator Available Now
In planning for the game's launch, you can download the character creator now and start designing your player avatar ahead of time.
