There are also private servers available if you only want to play with people you know.<\/p>\n<p>But since players have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-players-have-found-a-devious-way-to-grief-each-other-outside-of-pvp-zones\/\" target=\"_blank\">found ways to grief each other<\/a> even in non-PvP zones, I guess I&#8217;m not surprised people still regularly request an official way to play solo. This new mode sounds pretty appealing for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Singleplayer offers three preset difficulty levels for the survival experience, or full manual customization of individual settings,&#8221; Funcom said. &#8220;Want faster experience gain, easier enemies, or quicker harvesting? All of that is adjustable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another huge change in singleplayer mode: you can build bases in the deep desert and they won&#8217;t be completely wiped each week. The huge Coriolis storm will still hit the deep desert, but will be &#8220;less destructive,&#8221; so while you may need to repair your DD base, you won&#8217;t be at risk of losing it. <\/p>\n<p>Um&#8230; yes, please! Speaking as someone who doesn&#8217;t really love building, and especially hates rebuilding over and over again on a weekly damn basis, I&#8217;m psyched. I don&#8217;t mind spending resources to fix busted bases, but starting from scratch every week is a bummer, so this alone has me intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Landsraad, the weekly endgame competition found in multiplayer, there&#8217;s still a version of that because singleplayer mode &#8220;simulates other players engaging with the faction conflict.&#8221; Interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the list of what you can expect from singleplayer mode, and Funcom says it&#8217;ll have more details as we get closer to the September 22 release date.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All the NPCs are there, but no other players\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The Deep Desert is fully available with all its content and challenges, but the map never resets and your buildings are never wiped. The Coriolis Storm remains as a weather event but is less destructive.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The Landsraad endgame simulates other players engaging with the faction conflict, keeping it competitive and engaging<\/li>\n<li>Singleplayer characters remain exclusive to the single-player mode\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Private and self-hosted server characters can be played on any of these and can even go between private and self-hosted servers\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Official server characters can be played on any official server and can even be moved to a private or self-hosted server (but not back again, to ensure the integrity of official servers)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Bases and vehicles you back up will come with you\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-Wnmnqe\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/Wnmnqe.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2aa4b77d-2449-4c95-9a0b-1085e4a930b9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"the show's Steam page\" data-dimension48=\"the show's Steam page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3036px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"uNGNHZpBcLTeLdsxSFkkBC\" name=\"pcgs_2026_logo v4\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/uNGNHZpBcLTeLdsxSFkkBC.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3036\" height=\"3036\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The PC Gaming Show returns<\/strong> <strong>Sunday, June 7 at 12 pm PDT! <\/strong>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/curator\/1850-PC-Gamer\/sale\/pcgamingshow2026\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2aa4b77d-2449-4c95-9a0b-1085e4a930b9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"the show's Steam page\" data-dimension48=\"the show's Steam page\" data-dimension25=\"\">the show&#8217;s Steam page<\/a> to wishlist your most anticipated games and get more information on how to tune in for the big reveals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/funcom-is-adding-a-singleplayer-mode-to-dune-awakening-and-wow-the-new-features-are-definitely-gonna-bring-me-back-to-the-game\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We reported just a couple weeks ago that Dune: Awakening&#8217;s director Joel Bylos didn&#8217;t really consider the survival sandbox to be an MMO.
