Dune Awakening is an upcoming survival video game speculated to get a Beta release in 2024. After the two recent movies based on the IP took the box office by storm, the largely dormant IP became relevant again.
Fans are counting the days till the title’s release and are expressing their anticipation and excitement on various social media platforms, including the game’s official subreddit. Among all the fans, one had a peculiar but valid concern regarding the game’s beta.
An Enthusiastic Dune Awakening Fan Doesn’t Want to Spoil Their Experience by Playing the Beta
The upcoming survival game is already achieving milestones before its release, something that not many titles manage to do. With fans waiting for the third installment in the movie series, it seems like the game will launch at the perfect time and will capitalize on the sudden surge in the IP’s popularity among the masses.
The upcoming title will be a PvP MMO survival title, a combination of genres seen in titles like Conan Exiles in the past. With fans waiting with bated breath to get their hands on the Beta, a post was made in the game’s subreddit where a fan stated how the upcoming survival title was checking many boxes for them.
However, a peculiar fan commented they wish to delay their gratification and don’t want to look at a buggy, half-baked title and spoil their experience with it. This is what they wrote in the post’s comment section:

And while it may seem strange to go against the horde of fans who cannot wait for the title’s release, the user has a point that was explained by another Redditor replying to the former:

Recently, AAA games have seen a dip in quality, especially on Day 1. Most require tonnes of fixed, which has now become the norm. However, there is a specific reason why fans of the upcoming game are skeptical about its release, which concerns the development studio.
Fans Want the Developer Studio to Do Better With the Title
The game’s creative director has tried to talk about the upcoming title and reassure fans that the team behind it is committed to ensuring the game IP does justice to its fans. While a beta, regardless of its closed or open nature, should rule out a majority of bugs, most fans’ concern about the game also runs more profound than the beta.
For example, one such fan cited an example of the studio sabotaging its title some time ago:
Funcom, Like Always released a horrible update for Conan Exiles downgrading it VS Upgrading it. How do we know Dune will not be the same issue?

It is not good news that a game with a few months left for its beta release is a point of concern for gamers. The studio has to bring its A-game to the table to win back the fans’ trust, which has been plummeting for the last few years.
