Earlier today, developer Shiro Games and publisher Funcom released a bevy of new screenshots for its upcoming real-time strategy game, Dune: Spice Wars.

Scheduled to arrive on PC later this year, Dune: Spice Wars is based on Frank Herbert’s influential eponymous sci-fi novel. Of course, said novel was later adapted to cinema by David Lynch in 1984 and Denis Villeneuve in 2021.

Specifically, Dune: Spice Wars is all set to be a spiritual successor to Westwood Studios’ 1992 hit, Dune II – which is widely considered to be the original title to help popularise the RTS genre as we see it, to this day. The game will be a 4X RTS experience, which means that it’ll involve gameplay where you have to explore, expand, exploit and exterminate.

Feel free to peruse the newly released screenshots down below:
