From Dust "will not require a permanent online connection" say Ubisoft

This week, we learned that Driver: San Francisco will have Ubisoft's always-online DRM system.

Ubisoft have confirmed to VG247that their recently delayed god game, From Dust "will not require a permanent online connection to play in single-player mode.”

will have Ubisoft's always-online DRM system. The From Dust Steam entrydoes list the Ubisoft Online Service as third party DRM, but it looks as though it's a less stringent version.

Ubisoft told us yesterdaythat they see their DRM system as "a success," saying that it's led to “a clear reduction in piracy of our titles which required a persistent online connection.”
