    THE NEW DUNE: AWAKENING IS HERE

    Update 1.5 adds a full single-player mode, detailed rule settings for self-hosted servers, the end of the Book One story and a PvE route through every system. Consoles have a head start now and a full launch on 22 September.

    • —Self-hosted PC servers are free and hold up to 40 concurrent players, with control over sandstorms, security zones, multipliers, base decay and death drops. Funcom calls the feature experimental.
    • —Official characters can play on any official server and can move to a private or self-hosted one, but not back.
    • —The Deep Desert runs as separate PvE and PvP instances, and the PvP one pays 2.5x on mining and harvesting. Hagga Basin is fully PvE.
    • —Base upkeep taxes are gone, the Landsraad is rebuilt around repeatable missions with party sharing, and anyone who plays between 17 September and 22 October receives the Matron's Decor reward.

    For your guild
    A guild can now run its own 40-slot world under its own rules, but moving an official character there is one way, so decide as a group before anyone transfers. Cross-play is not in at console launch, so console recruits cannot join a PC roster yet.

    Gamescom Is Over - Here's a Recap of Dune: Awakening News

    Funcom gathered its Gamescom announcements and added detail on the Polar Cap, a free map arriving later this year built around extreme cold rather than heat, with its own survival mechanics, resources and standalone storyline.

    For your guild
    A second map with its own survival rules means a guild's Hagga Basin kit and base plans do not carry over, and the update is free, so everyone can go. There is no date beyond later this year, so this is worth reading and not yet worth scheduling.

    Filmic Archive DLC, and Cross-Play Confirmed for Post Console Launch

    Funcom dated the Dune: Awakening console launch to September 22, arriving with a single-player mode, the story conclusion and the Filmic Archive DLC at $9.99. Cross-play is confirmed for after console launch, with no date.

    For your guild
    Cross-play is the part that decides whether a guild can recruit off PC, and it carries no date. Console members joining on September 22 will be on their own servers until it lands, so hold off on restructuring around a mixed-platform roster.
