Let’s be real: Three Dune Awakening Solari weeks is barely a blip in the gaming world. Especially for a game like Dune: Awakening, which blends survival mechanics, MMO elements, and an iconic sci-fi setting. If a few tweaks are all that stand between a frustrating experience and a polished one, then by all means — take the extra time.
I was skeptical of the game at first, but after watching gameplay and reading impressions from the beta, my excitement has grown. Still, bugs and balancing issues were a common theme in most feedback. So delaying it to iron out those creases shows that the devs aren’t just chasing a release window — they’re aiming for something solid.
Some players are understandably annoyed — everyone wants to jump in ASAP, especially fans of the Dune universe. But we’ve all seen what happens when games launch too early (looking at you, Cyberpunk 2077). If the beta revealed pain points that could be fixed in a few weeks, then it would be foolish not to do it. Better three weeks of delay than three months of post-launch chaos.
In the meantime, I’d love to see patch notes or dev blogs explaining what’s being adjusted. It keeps the community engaged and makes the wait feel purposeful. Here’s hoping this small delay leads to a much smoother launch.
