Dune Awakening pushes server migrations to April update

Funcom has delayed Dune Awakening’s server migration rollout. The studio said character migrations will now start with Patch 1.3.20.0 in April instead of Patch 1.3.10.0 in March.

According to the official post, the extra time is meant to give the team more room to work on server and game performance before migrations begin. Funcom said the goal is to avoid making the experience worse as servers are consolidated and, ideally, improve it.

This follows earlier comments from the studio that it wouldn’t begin migrations and merges until it had fixed some issues affecting the player experience. Funcom had previously targeted March for the process, while also saying it didn’t want to force everyone onto a single crowded destination server.

What’s still missing is the practical part players are waiting on: which worlds are actually affected. Funcom says it will share that list before the update goes live, but for now it hasn’t named any servers.

Dune Awakening is a survival sandbox MMO, so server moves carry a lot more weight than they do in a lobby-based game. For players with established characters, bases, and social groups, the details matter. Right now, the main confirmed change is the timing: migrations are no longer starting in March, and the new target is April with Patch 1.3.20.0.
