Details
The largest Dune: Awakening update since launch. Adds a full single-player mode (the whole game solo on every platform), deep gameplay customization for single-player and self-hosted servers, and the conclusion of the Book One story (The Great Convention Part III — the entire story is now playable start to finish). The Landsraad endgame is rebuilt into a mission-driven framework (20 ranks) playable fully in PvE. Also adds Specializations, Augmentations, six new Imperial Testing Stations, new locations, new weapons (Pyrocket, Dual Blades, reworked Rapier), major quality-of-life (base upkeep taxes removed, base reconstruction, lower death penalty), and broad performance gains.
How to accessLive on all platforms since September 17. Dune: Awakening also launches on consoles — head start today for Deluxe and Ultimate owners, official console release September 22.
RewardsNew story-mission rewards granted retroactively; Landsraad rank rewards; new blueprints and gear from the Testing Stations.
A free expansion on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox. It adds the Polar Sink, a new survival map in the frozen north where you manage cold instead of heat, with two biomes: the tundra, held by water-shipper families, and the heavily guarded ice cap beyond it. Polar Sink resources craft new survival gear, and ice harvested on the ice cap cools base equipment to speed up production. Funcom quotes around 35 hours of new progression, plus new vehicle modules, augments and specialization traits. It also adds an Events tab to the main menu.
How to accessFree for all players on December 1. Funcom says the next in-game event, Water Crisis, follows shortly after the expansion.
