Dire Wolf Digital, the makers behind several digital board games as well as Klong !, are launching Dune: Imperium, a board game based on the license of the film of the same name. In the meantime, the game has a release date: As Asmodee Germany announced, Dune: Imperium will appear in early 2021. The publisher limits the release period to the first quarter of the new year.
Dire Wolf Digital combines worker placement and deck building for Dune: Imperium and wants to knit together a concept in which players themselves determine the tactical approach through their actions: spinning intrigues? Strike with military strength? Or go the diplomatic route? Many things will probably be possible - and sooner than expected. For a long time there was no information about a release date in Germany; it was speculated that the board game could be released parallel to the film. Because the film was recently postponed, this could also have affected the release of the board game. But it doesn't: Asmodee has set the release period for the first quarter of 2021; Dire Wolf itself names December 2020 for the basic version and the first quarter for the delivery of the deluxe components.
Council seat or blade? Choose player
In the Dune: Imperium board game, players slip into the roles of various mansions who want to take control of the spice trade. The game adheres closely to the template in terms of story, but also characters or game plots. Dire Wolf, the makers behind the board game, rely on a combination of two mechanisms: worker placement and deck building.
Dune: Imperium is a strategic board game in which players can bet on different individual tactics, also driven by the fact that characters have individual skills. A two-player variant has also been confirmed by Dire Wolf Digital, as has a solo mode.
Asmodee will localize the game for the German-speaking market. Pre-orders are not yet possible, but separate information will likely follow soon. This also applies to the deluxe components - corresponding discussions between Asmodee and Dire Wolf Digital are said to be running in this regard.
