- "Free to Play" (no subscription) and funded by in-game purchases.[1]
- "Will charge real money for in-game items at a "virtual items marketplace"."[2]
- XBOX 360 release unlikely, due to restrictions with XBOX LIVE[3]

Progression
- "Advancement will be through the accumulation of wealth, and an "achievement matrix" that unlocks new customisable weapons and vehicles."[2]
- "There will be no character classes, players' abilities being defined by their equipment."[2]
Corporations / Clans
Integration with EVE Online
- Hilmar: "We're taking a console shooter and connecting it directly to a PC MMO."[1]
- DUST players will "be able to communicate with EVE players in-game or via the New Eden social network, and join the same Corporations and Alliances."[2]
- Halldór Fannar Guðjónsson, CTO:
- Characters build in EVE will not be used in Dust, they are "very different characters"
- Characters in Dust and EVE share the same namespace, hence all names will be unique across the games. This allows features like shared chat and corporations.
Development
- Developed in both CCP Shanghai and Gatehead UK offices [5]
