Dune Awakening, the upcoming Dune MMO, has pushed back its release date by a month, the dev team has confirmed on social media—meaning the release will coincide with one of the biggest launches of the year.
The MMO is now set to go live on June 10, with head start launching on June 5. This putsDune Awakeningon a collision course with the Nintendo Switch 2 launch,Mario Kart World, andDeltarune, in what is becoming an already stacked June schedule of new game releases.

In the announcement on social media, the dev team told fans that they needed “a bit more time to cook” in their decision to push the release date back by a month and it was “not a decision we take lightly” before saying they are aware of players who are excited to play the game. The team hopes these extra weeks will give them the time they need to make improvements based on beta feedback that will lead to a better gameplay experience on day one.
Its not all doom and gloom though, with the team announcing a large-scale beta weekend in May to make up for the missed release date, allowing more players to try the game ahead of launch in June and test the servers to make sure everything is working well.
June is proving to be a big month for gaming, with Nintendo Switch 2 and its launch lineup release on June 5,Rainbow Six Siege Xlaunching on June 10, andFNAF: Secret of the Mimiccoming on June 13. Not to mentionDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachcoming out at the end of June andPokémon GOFest Global happening June 28 to 29.
Now, withDune: Awakeningcolliding with all these new releases, it’s even more stacked, and we wonder how the game will fare when released alongside new hardware and some of the biggest titles of 2025. Only time will tell as the developers return to gain dessert power and continue to work on the game.
