Dune: Awakening's seasonally appropriate Blood and Ice expansion gets a December release date, and in a plus for preservation, an offline mode this month

December is certainly going to be the month of Dune. The biggest Dune of Dunecember will obviously go to Dune: Part 3, which is Duen out December 18th. A little bit before that, however, is a well-timed free expansion coming to Dune: Awakening . It's called Blood and Ice, which sounds gross, but hey, I guess free blood and ice isn't entirely a bad thing? "The expansion introduces the Polar Sink, an entirely new survival map where everything you've learned about surviving in the desert will be put to the test," explains a Steam blog post .
