Dune Awakening adds a solo mode and reworks progression so players stop losing their things

Dune Awakening now has a solo mode, added for players who were put off by the survival game's MMO leanings.
Funcom also reworked progression so that, in PC Gamer's words, players 'don't have to lose things anymore'.
The story is a short PC Gamer news brief with no patch number, release date, or platform breakdown given for either change.
Dune Awakening is Funcom's open-world survival crafting game set in the Dune universe, and both changes answer complaints about its multiplayer-first design.
