Dune

The update roadmap for Dune: Spice Wars has been revealed to make sure we are always getting the best Dune experience

Many out there have had a chance to play a bit of Dune: Spice Wars since it has hit the Early Access on the PC. There is a whole lot to experience and get you out there into the world, but Shiro Games has a whole lot more for us on top of just the basic updates and alterations to the game. So much more from the look of the new release roadmap that is set down for Dune: Spice Wars now. Even if it may not have anything written in stone, we do have a whole lot to look forward to for this Summer and the following seasons along the way now. As long as they can keep the flow going and Funcom keeps them all floating with their development for the game too.

When it comes to the Summer, it looks like we will be seeing some new options for multiplayer in Dune: Spice Wars. We will be able to take these new options into the co-op, PvP, and free-for-all with some new scheming and spy tactics mixed in. While that is nice, we will also be seeing another of the factions from Dune added in for us to select from too. All to build us up for more spaceports, ships, and advanced units to come down the pipe. That and the option to take our faction leaders into the fight too. You can see the basics of these updates just a bit lower as we wait to get the finer details on how they will function in the mix too.

Dune: Spice Wars, a unique blend of 4X and RTS strategy set on the legendary desert planet of Arrakis, released into Early Access in April to a soaring response from players and press alike.

With the spice now flowing, and a strong foundation to build on, publisher Funcom and developer Shiro Games are poised to raise Dune: Spice Wars to new heights. Today, they are excited to reveal some of the planned Early Access content in today’s roadmap.

The roadmap promises several major features, such as multiplayer, a new faction, and hero units, but the list is not exhaustive. Players will also see improvements across the board with every update, including the addition of new features.

As experienced Early Access developers, Funcom and Shiro Games know the value of community feedback and adapting to circumstances, so the features set out in the roadmap are subject to change.

Multiplayer is the current priority. After that, several major features are planned, including an unannounced new faction, and bringing the iconic characters of Dune to life as councilors take to the map as controllable hero units. The Air and Sand Update will dig deeper into the warfare, introducing new units and tactical elements to the mix.

In Dune: Spice Wars, choose between Atreides, Harkonnen, Smugglers, or Fremen to dominate the planet and the spice. Balance subterfuge, open warfare, politics, and economy to outwit and rise above your opponents, while maneuvering the natural dangers of Dune and its gargantuan sandworms.

Dune: Spice Wars is available now on Steam Early Access.
