Dune: Awakening developers delivered what they promised, as the game can now be played entirely offline in single-player. This was part of a small roadmap they released recently with a free expansion coming next month, and even more to come later next year for the game.

Hopefully this will now finally answer some of the complaints about it.

Key Additions

• It’s now possible to play the game in single-player mode without requiring an internet connection at any point, including creating and deleting single-player characters. A Go Online button allows players to get back online.
• Fixed an issue where small shipwrecks could stop appearing.
• The Sardaukar Killer and The Great Convention achievements now unlock as intended. Players who should already have them will receive them retroactively.
• Single player custom server settings are now saved to the cloud, so they carry over when you continue the same save on another device.
• Tweaked the placement boxes for Rug of the Desert Flyers and Sardaukar Carpet to make them easier to place close to other objects such as walls.
• Fixed water generation in single player where it was not progressing correctly while the player was offline or on another map.
• Several technical and stability fixes.
• Fixed multiple reported issues with the world and terrain geometry.
• Mining yields now show per resource on the infocards.

I might actually even jump back in for the expansion, especially now we can play fully on our own terms. Much nicer than having to deal with upkeep in an online game.
