Dune
Dune fans will be able to give Dune: Spice Wars a spin as the Early Access opens up in a few weeks
Still riding off the fun we have had before, it looks like Dune: Spice Wars will be ready soon to start letting some of us in on the Spice. That is, it has been just announced that Shiro Games and at a point to start letting PC gamers in to try the game in an Early Access form of it all. A form that will let those hardcore Dune fans into the new war on April 26th if they want to see what they could be getting down the line. Obviously, this will not be near the final form of the game but something to keep both sides of it all flowing until it is ready for the masses. Something I suspect will be closer to the next big film release to the world. Now you just get to choose which side of it all you want to be on.
In addition to the Early Access announcement for Dune: Spice Wars, there is also the announcement on the fourth playable faction that will be in the game. This will be the Fremen. A faction that will be able to move across and survive the desert and all of the harshness that it will hold. They also have a lesser chance to draw the attention of any of the sandworms out there and an ability to ally with Sietches over the other factions. All to set them up to better control the flow of Spice in this slice of Dune universe we are getting. Now if only we could get a solid look at how it will all function in the game just before that date we have now…
Dune: Spice Wars — First Gameplay
Publishers Funcom and Developers Shiro Games are thrilled to announce that on April 26, Dune: Spice Wars enters Early Access. Marking the first time in two decades that players will be able to set foot on Dune in a game, Dune: Spice Wars has shot up the Steam wishlists chart since its recent announcement at The Game Awards 2021 in December.
This union between real-time strategy and 4X elements, based on Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece, Dune, pits four factions against each other on the desert planet of Arrakis, the only source of the most valuable resource in the universe: spice.
Along with the Early Access release, the fourth playable faction has also been revealed as the Fremen. With a greater capacity to move across and withstand the open desert, less chance to attract colossal sandworms, and an improved ability to ally with hidden Sietches (neutral native settlements), the Fremen are uniquely poised to expand their area of influence in order to control the planet. Discover everything about the native desert survivors in today’s new Fremen reveal.
Have you been waiting to get in on an Early Access for this game or will you be holding off for the full release? Do you think the full release will be coming around the time of the next Dune film or will it truly be when the game is ready? Will we get more factions added into the game over time or will we be stuck with the four that we have now? Give us all of that feedback down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all if you so wish to. We will keep sharing what we can for Dune: Spice Wars and all you need to do is keep looking at the site for all of that and more. I have a feeling there will be a whole lot more and soon.
