The new real-time strategy game Dune: Spice Wars will launch as a Steam early access title on 26 April.<\/p>\n

Dune: Spice Wars is based on Frank Herbert\u2019s sci-fi universe and will be developed by Shiro Games and published by Funcom.<\/p>\n

The game will revolve around the ongoing conflict between the four factions on the desert planet Arrakis over controlling the most valuable resource in the universe, Spice.<\/p>\n

Players will be able to explore the world with ornithopters, expand their sphere of control with troops to increase political power, and face their enemies in combat.<\/p>\n

The developer has confirmed that the Fremen will be one of the four playable factions at the game\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

The Fremen will move faster than other factions in the desert landscape, have improved resistance to its harsh conditions and attract less attention from sandworms.<\/p>\n

The other factions are the House Harkonnen, House Atreides, and the Smugglers, who will all have their unique strengths.<\/p>\n

Since the initial release won\u2019t include a single-player campaign or multiplayer, the developers plan to use the early access period to add new features and improve the game based on player feedback.<\/p>\n

Funcom has also announced that it is developing an open-world survival multiplayer game set in the Dune universe.<\/p>\n
