Join gaming leaders, alongside GamesBeat and Facebook Gaming, for their 2nd Annual GamesBeat & Facebook Gaming Summit | GamesBeat: Into the Metaverse 2 this upcoming January 25-27, 2022. Learn more about the event.
Dune Spice Wars is a real-time strategy game with 4X elements based on Frank Herbert’s Dune universe.
Shiro Games disclosed some more features about the game, which plays in real time but has a pace that is slower than the typical RTS. You can also pause and fast forward the game, which will be coming out on Steam in 2022, first in Early Access.
In the title, you can explore, control territory, grow the economy, engage in combat, spy on your enemies, and engage in politics. Funcom is the publisher, and this game is separate from one it is working on at Nukklear.
