Funcom is adding a singleplayer mode to Dune: Awakening, and wow, the new features are definitely gonna bring me back to the game
Funcom is adding a singleplayer mode to the open-world survival game Dune: Awakening, launching September 22. The update arrives alongside the game’s PlayStation 5 debut, following its earlier PC release. The singleplayer experience will maintain the game’s core open-world survival gameplay while allowing players to enjoy it entirely solo, complete with additional features designed to enhance the solo experience. Singleplayer was identified as one of the most-requested features by the playerbase. The announcement aligns with previous comments from the game’s director Joel Bylos, who characterized the title more as a survival sandbox experience rather than a traditional MMO. The September 22 release falls during a notably crowded gaming window with numerous high-profile titles arriving simultaneously. Industry interest in the title remains substantial given the popularity of the Dune franchise, though early player reception has been mixed regarding the game’s overall appeal.
