Dune: Awakening gets pushed back to June

Developer Funcom needs "a bit more time to cook."

Dune: Awakening, the open-world MMO inspired by Frank Herbert's novels and Denis Villeneuve's films, has been delayed. You start as a prisoner taken to the planet but soon "learn the true meaning of desert power," rising to become an agent of the Atreides or the Harkonnen. You can get a jump on things today with a character creator, launched in February, that lets you build your hero and take the Gom Jabbar test.
