Funcom says Dune: Awakening's solo mode is a survival game, not The Last of Us
- Creative Director Joel Bylos said players seeking a good single-player survival game should be satisfied, but those expecting a Naughty Dog-style The Last of Us experience are looking for a different type of game.
- Funcom's new single-player mode removes other human players while keeping all NPCs available in Dune: Awakening.
- The game will simulate other players' involvement in the endgame faction conflict to preserve competitive interest even in solo play.
- Dune: Awakening is already available on PC through Steam; Funcom expects PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and game updates on September 22.
