Oslo, Norway – Gamers eagerly anticipating the release of Dune: Awakening will need to exercise patience as the launch of the MMORPG has been postponed. Funcom, the developers behind the game inspired by Frank Herbert’s renowned Dune series, have announced that the release date will be shifted from May to June 10th. Those who have pre-ordered deluxe editions of the game will have early access starting on June 5th.
Dune: Awakening transports players to an alternate reality where pivotal events unfolded differently – imagine a world where Timothee Chalamet never existed to face off against Austin Butler in a legendary duel. As a newcomer to the arid planet of Arrakis, players are tasked with unraveling the mystery behind the disappearance of the Fremen, the indigenous inhabitants of the desert world. In order to succeed, players must navigate challenges such as fatigue, thirst, confrontations with the ruthless Harkonnens, and the formidable Shai Hulud, the colossal sandworms that roam Arrakis.
Despite the slight setback in the game’s release, Funcom assures fans that the delay will ultimately benefit the final product. The developers express their intention to utilize the extra time to implement improvements based on feedback gathered from the game’s current closed beta testing phase.
The decision to push back the release date by a few weeks underscores the commitment of Funcom to delivering a polished and engaging gaming experience for fans of the Dune universe. While delays are often met with disappointment, the anticipation and excitement surrounding Dune: Awakening remain high as players eagerly await the opportunity to embark on their desert adventures in Arrakis.
