Dune: Spice Wars, the real-time strategy 4X game set in Frank Herbert's legendary sci-fi universe, is now available on Steam Early Access. Publisher Funcom and developer Shiro Games are delighted to invite players to the unforgiving planet of Arrakis, where they will battle for possession of each drop of water and load of spice. Conquer Arrakis through political maneuvering, military dominance, sabotage, and wise resource allocation. The spice must flow, but as you struggle to wrest it from the grip of opposing factions, the planet itself threatens with coriolis storms and colossal sandworms. Lead the honorable Atreides, brutal Harkonnen, opportunistic Smugglers, or survivalist Fremen, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Specialize your faction by appointing various iconic characters as your councilors.

"We're all very proud of the current state of the game as we enter Early Access. It's the beginning of a journey, and the game is only going to keep expanding from here, with the help of valuable player feedback," says Shiro Games' CEO, Sebastien Vidal.
