The new 4X hotness can now be played with others online.

The first major update for Dune: Spice Wars rolled out, which introduces multiplayer to the 4X/RTS game. Players will now be able to play together to take on the A.I. or fight each other in PvP.

With this new update, players can now team up in 2v2 matches or go against each other in free-for-all matches with up to four players. To go along with this update, Dune: Spice Wars is currently 20% off on Steam. This discounted price ends on June 23, so you should probably hurry up and grab it now while it's cheaper.

Dune: Spice Wars is currently in Early Access on Steam. This multiplayer update is the first major update for the game. A roadmap of upcoming Early Access content was detailed back in May by Shiro Games and Funcom. You can see the roadmap below. Just keep in mind that dates and such are subject to change as Early Access releases tend to do.
