Set in the universe of Frank Herbert's Dune, Dune: Spice Wars is a real-time strategy game from the developers behind Northgard. Players will take control of a faction and battle to control territories and the valuable resource, spice, in the harsh desert environment of planet Arrakis. Players can choose from several houses, including House Atreides and Harkonnen, as they manage resources and protect their troops from warring factions or gigantic sandworms that can wipe out platoons entirely. How players tackle this game of political deception and war is up to them—those who control the spice control the universe.
