Dune: Awakening offline mode<\/strong> is here. Funcom’s patch 1.5.20.0<\/strong>, live on all platforms since 9 November, lets you play single-player without an internet connection at any point<\/strong>, including creating and deleting single-player characters. A new Go Online<\/strong> button takes you back online when you want. There’s one catch: DLC you own isn’t available while you’re fully offline, and Funcom says it plans to fix that in a later update.<\/p>\n

Can you play Dune: Awakening offline?<\/h2>\n

Yes, since patch 1.5.20.0. Funcom’s patch notes<\/a> say you can now play in single-player mode without an internet connection at any point. That includes making a new single-player character or deleting one, which used to need a connection. When you want to rejoin friends or public servers, press Go Online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was one of the community’s most-requested features. When Funcom announced the Blood and Ice expansion on 29 October, it listed offline single-player alongside character transfers and full cross-play as features it was working on. Offline play is the first of those to arrive.<\/p>\n

Does DLC work in Dune: Awakening offline mode?<\/h2>\n

Not yet. The patch notes say any DLC you’ve bought isn’t available when you’re fully offline<\/strong>, and Funcom plans to address it in an upcoming update. If you rely on DLC items, building sets or cosmetics in your single-player world, stay online for now.<\/p>\n
