The new video game adaptation of sci-fi masterpiece Dune will be a PC exclusive
Mix between real-time strategy and 4X mechanics, Dune : Spice Wars from Shiro Games offers intense opposition between the Atreides, Harkonnen, Smugglers or Fremen factions (each with their own strengths and weaknesses) on the desert planet of Arrakis, the only source of the most precious resource in the universe created by the writer Franck Herbert, namely the spice.
Players will need to balance a house’s military might, infiltration, political influence, and resource production to lead it to desert supremacy.
Shiro Games and Funcom are proud to announce that our 4X real-time strategy game Dune: Spice Wars has an Early Access Release Date!
Players can take their first steps upon the dunes of Arrakis when it releases on Steam, April 26th!
