Emerging from an identity crisis, Dune: Awakening developer Funcom concluded last month that the game is "not an MMO" but rather a "complicated" survival game with online play. The big announcement out of Tuesday's PlayStation State of Play show – not God of War Laufey, the Dune news – leans into this not-an-MMO future, with a single-player mode coming to the game in September.
On September 22, Dune: Awakening will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X, with single-player coming the same day, and the final act of the book one story dropping as well.
