Dune: Spice Wars is a real-time 4X game set on Arrakis. Developed by Shiro Games and published by Funcom, Dune: Spice Wars is poised to expand its universe with a new free update and the first post-launch DLC.
The House Vernius of Ix DLC, priced at €12.99 EUR / $12.99 USD, introduces the technologically advanced Ixians as the game’s seventh faction. Hailing from the Ixian Confederation and led by the cybernetically enhanced Rhombur Vernius. They discreetly explore the self-learning tech forbidden by the Butlerian Jihad.
Much anticipated by the community, the Ixians unlock radically new playstyles focused on research and diplomacy. They have the ability to control a larger number of drones than other factions. Plus, they possess unique ways of controlling and limiting opponents’ technology. With their high reliance on Standing, Alliances are essential to their success. Thanks to their reduced reliance on water, however, they are unusually effective in the harsh environment of Arrakis.
Dune: Spice Wars – Heroes of Dune Update
The Heroes of Dune update marks a major milestone for Dune: Spice Wars. This allows players to control legendary individuals from the Dune universe. With each faction offering a choice of two Heroes, players can recruit from a total of 14 iconic characters. Each of which has its own active skill, global effect, and localised effects. From Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck for the House Atreides to Chani Kynes and Otheym for the Fremen, players can now lead their chosen faction with legendary figures, reshaping the course of history on Arrakis.
In addition to these new features, the free Dune: Spice Wars update includes several improvements to combat.

The base game is also 35% off during the Steam Spring Sales until 21st March, 2024. The House Vernius of Ix DLC and Heroes of Dune Free Update are available right now on Steam and Xbox Series X|S.
