Rise of Ix will also implement new mechanics for the game with dreadnoughts and Ixian Technology tiles. The base game of Dune: Imperium included eight leaders and the expansion will add six more into the mix, including Archduke Arman Ecaz and Prince Rhombur Vernius. The expansion will also focus on the technocratic society of Ix, which is the planet that provides technology to the Imperium in Dune.

Released in 2020, the game’s unique mixture of deck-building and worker placement within the Dune universe made it one of the most popular titles of the year.Ĭoming to retail for the 2021 holiday season, Rise of Ix will add new Imperium, Intrigue, and Conflict cards.
