Fremen is secretly led by Liet Kynes, a leading planetary expert, with a faction highly proficient in guerrilla warfare tactics, less affected by Arrakis' harsh environment, and has units that move faster and are more stealthy.

You can create your own story and play as one of several factions, including House Atreides and House Harkonnen, and compete for power over the Dune and Spice.

Dune: Spice Wars will continue to expand during the early access period with a multiplayer component, other playable factions, a full campaign, balance updates, and more. Stay tuned in the coming weeks and months for further updates.
