Funcom and developer Shiro Games have announced that Dune: Spice Wars will be leaving Early Access in September. Dune: Spice Wars, the first game set in the Dune universe in two decades has had five major updates in its first year of early access which have massively expanded and improved the game and you can see this in the new Gamescom trailer below….
Dune: Spice Wars takes players to the planet of Arrakis as a leader to the forces of one of the Great Houses of the Imperium to gain control of the flow of the valuable Spice. Whether by espionage, economy or through war, gaining control of the Spice, the most valuable substance in the universe, is the most important objective.
Those who venture to Arrakis will be able to play as one of several factions, including House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the Smugglers and the native Fremen, each with their own unique playstyles and abilities.
The recent updates to Dune: Spice Wars have brought many features to the game, including the addition of multiplayer, House Corrino, flying units, new buildings, major AI improvements, Conquest scenarios and much more, though there have also been many bug fixes, balancing and quality of life improvements.
Shiro founder and CEO Nicolas Cannasse stated, “Our goal was to create an easy to understand yet hard to master, content-rich 4X game that caters to both newcomers and enthusiasts of the genre, fueled by regular updates & our growing community’s feedback & support. We can’t wait to see players immerse themselves in the rich game we’ve crafted together.”
Look out for Dune: Spice Wars coming out of Early Access on Steam this September.
