Funcom has committed to a 10-year development plan for Dune: Awakening, assuring players of sustained content and updates well beyond launch. The roadmap includes exploring new planets outside Arrakis and evolving gameplay based on community feedback. However, the studio emphasizes this isn’t a rigid blueprint—success and player interest will shape the journey.

Devs highlighted in streams and Reddit AMAs that long-term support is crucial to building a living MMO world, contrasting it with short-lived live-service titles. While specifics remain sparse, the promise signals Funcom’s ambition to make Dune: Awakening a multi-decade experience, banking on the rich Dune universe and player-driven storytelling. Fans are cautiously optimistic, eager to see if the game maintains momentum over such an ambitious timeline.
