Dune: Awakening developer Funcom has issued an update on the game’s business model and post-launch plans, confirming the May 20 release date is the “full launch” rather than Early Access. The multiplayer survival game inspired by Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel and the movie adaptations will not have a subscription,

Awakeningwill not launch into early access. When it comes to developing sprawling open-world experiences that encourage community-building, many developers opt to go the route of an early access release to optimize the development process.

Dune: Awakening launching in 1.0 is somewhat of a rarity for the survival game genre, which more often than not sees games launch in an early-access state. Releasing in early access lets developers gather more player feedback and slowly add more content to the game over time before eventually launching in full, oftentimes with a price increase.
