Funcom uses the patch to repair trust, aiming to draw players back after a summer slowdown.

Overview

  • Version 1.2.0.0 adds new story content, dynamic encounters, character appearance recustomization, and a broad set of quality-of-life improvements.
  • Sandworms now check for nearby players and vehicles before breaching, a change intended to curb sudden, unavoidable deaths.
  • Deep Desert travel is smoother as quicksand between sectors is removed, cross‑sector combat and abilities now function, and layouts gain higher rock island density.
  • Player name changes remain unavailable despite the wide-ranging fixes and features in this release.
  • The free Chapter 2 update arrives alongside the paid Lost Harvest DLC and a free-play period on Sept. 11–15, with Funcom hoping to attract new and returning players.
