Dune: Awakening’s Single-Player Mode Will Keep You Busy Till Dune Part 3 | gamescom 2026

Players have been exploring the desert planet of Arrakis on PC now for the past year, but Dune Awakening is finally headed to consoles in a big way. Launching with a long-requested single player mode, adapting story beats from the final chapter of book one in the Dune series, we couldn’t wait to sit down with Creative Director Joel Bylos to find out more! We chat changes from PC to console, how community feedback has shaped Dune Awakening, potential ties to the movie series and how to balance the feedback and expectations of players who want different experiences from the game. Dune Awakening launches September 22nd for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
