Publisher Funcom and developer Shiro Games today unveiled the early access roadmap for Dune: Spice Wars, giving us a better look at the first set of new features and content coming to the strategy game in 2022.
Dune: Spice Wars' early access roadmap includes both major additions, such as the long-awaited multiplayer mode, as well as other features that haven't been shared yet. The team behind the game notes that the list below is not exhaustive and is subject to change, depending on the feedback it receives from players as development progresses.
Dune: Spice Wars Roadmap 2022
Dune: Spice Wars' early access roadmap kicked things off on June 20, 2022, when the game's multiplayer mode dropped. Launching with support for dedicated servers, peer-to-peer matches, and up to 4 players, it lets you pick between 2v2 and free for all while deciding the strength of potential AI factions, and more.
Planned for summer, but arriving on September 22 was the game's fifth playable faction, confirmed as House Corrino, alongside a new victory condition, which requires players to own more than 50% of the CHOAM to win.
Later in 2022, the Air & Sand update "will dig deeper into the warfare, introducing new units and tactical elements to the mix." Spaceports, ships, and advanced units are on the way, alongside new buildings that aid your efforts to conquer Arrakis.
The last step on Dune: Spice Wars' early access roadmap, at least at the moment, sees councilors receiving an update that turns them into actual units who fill the roles of special agents or additional fighters on the field.
Content for the game won't stop there, however, but what follows after will be revealed at a later date. For more on Dune: Spice Wars, here is what we thought after spending some time with its early access version when it launched.
