The next Dune: Spice Wars faction reveal will happen "next week on Steam", according to developer Shiro Games. As for what the third faction will be, the team is strongly hinting that it may be the Fremen - if so, this would be the first time the native fighters will have been a full side in a Dune strategy game.

With Dune: Spice Wars being both the first 4X strategy game based on the franchise and still a bit of a mystery right now, developers from Shiro Games took to Reddit to answer a few questions fans might have. Responding to a query about further factions outside Harkonnen and Atreides, community director James Croucher says that the game's third faction will be revealed "next week on Steam".

Croucher offered the hint that fans should note, "emphasis on 'Factions' not 'Houses'". While there are hints that the next side could be the Emperor's House Corrino or even Dune 2's non-canon House Ordos, the developers strongly suggest that the third faction could be the planet's native Fremen.
