The Dune: Spice Wars Early Access release date is now revealed for Steam, and the 4X game will breach sandworm-like later this month. Furthermore, the fourth faction for the strategy game is the planet's native Fremen - and yes, they can ride the worms.
It was only announced a few months ago, but now Funcom and Spiro Games confirm that the latest game in the Dune-iverse is launching in Steam Early Access in a few weeks. This version will include the single-player campaign and four factions, with multiplayer coming at a later date.
The native Fremen of Arrakis were teased as the game's third faction before that was confirmed as the Smugglers, but now Spiro Games has confirmed them too as the fourth faction. The Fremen leader is Liet Kynes, who was played by Karel Dobrý in the 2021 movie and is similarly female here (Kynes was male in the original novel). The Fremen are stealth-focused, are experts in ambushes, can hide in sandstorms - and yes, they can ride the mighty sandworms too.
