Heads up, explorers of Arrakis. Funcom is deploying a hotfix for Dune: Awakening on November 19, 2025, which will require servers to go offline for a bit. The scheduled maintenance is set to begin at 11:00 CET / 10:00 UTC and is expected to last for 90 minutes.
This rapid deployment comes directly after the game's recent major patch, a common practice for developers to quickly address any unexpected bugs or stability problems that a big update might introduce. While the studio hasn't released a detailed list of changes, the focus of a hotfix is almost always on improving game health and squashing disruptive issues.
What issues might this hotfix address?
Typically, hotfixes target critical but specific problems that slip through testing. This could range from fixing a broken crafting recipe that appeared with the last patch, resolving a performance drop in certain areas, or correcting issues with newly added features. The goal is to get the core experience back on track without waiting for the next major patch cycle.
Players should plan on logging off before the maintenance begins to ensure no progress is lost. We'll be watching for any noticeable changes once Arrakis is back online.
