A step beyond scratching the Baldur’s Gate 3 itch.
Synchronous turn-system.
Fast-paced tactical co-op combat.
Stolen Realm is a game that’s been partly inspired by the work of Larian Studios, via the fantastic Divinity: Original Sin games, so while we’ve been finishing up Stolen Realm over the last few months, it’s been fantastic to see Baldur’s Gate 3 explode and show there is a huge appetite for games like ours. If you’re one of those Xbox fans looking for a new game to scratch that Baldur’s Gate 3 itch, we hope Stolen Realm will do that for you. However, we also want to tell you about the unique twists our game has that helps speed up combat, keeps you making fun choices and makes it perfect for co-op.
Stolen Realm has a synchronous turn system. This means that all the players on your team can all take their turns at the same time, the enemies likewise. With this system, our game offers the same kind of tactical combat you’d expect from the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sun, but with combat encounters that move at a far quicker pace. This means that when you’re playing co-op with your friends, there’s no waiting around for your turn while your buddy ponders his next move. You’ll be onto the next step of your adventure in no time, so you can spend less time waiting and more time having friendly argument about whether you should go for another combat encounter, a special event, or some treasure as you move through our games diverse fantasy environments.
Speaking of co-op, we’ve built a really flexible six-player drop-in/drop-out system that means it’s super easy to see your friends playing on Xbox Live, jump in for a few rounds and then leave again. The game automatically balances itself based on how many people are playing, so the game will simply adapt the experience to make sure that you’re coming up against the right level of challenge based on how many of you are playing together at any given moment. Friction-free multiplayer is something Xbox has always been good at, so we think Stolen Realm fits in perfectly in that respect!
Our approach to combat is something that we’ve tried to implement across the whole game. We’ve designed Stolen Realm to be an RPG that focuses on the best part of RPGs: making choices. Whether it’s what move you will make next in combat, what skill you’re going to take next, what to do when a demon offers you a deal in one of our attribute-altering D&D style special events, or whether to switch out your armour and weapons based on what you’ve looted in your latest encounter. We’ve opened up those choices with a highly-flexible class system that lets you take abilities from any class-tree you wish (there are over 300 skills in the game), so you can make some really creative builds. We’ve also got over 700 unique items to discover, each of which can be customised with modifiers. These include the epicly-named Abbadon the Soul Crusher, a mace that raises slain enemies as skeletal warriors to fight for you and The Bloodletter, a cursed sword that grants additional power at the cost of your lifeblood, to give you a small taste of what you can discover! Basically, there’s a lot of fun ways your choices can impact your character and your adventure and Stolen Realm keeps you making those fun choices as often as possible.
When it comes to choice, we’ve also built a few of modes for you to choose from! Stolen Realm has a full campaign (with six difficulty levels), a hardcore mode for those who want to deal with permadeath, and even a roguelike mode. In roguelike mode, you gain a level after every battle and can choose from a set of random skills and items, making every run unique. Even if you fail, each run helps towards permanently unlocking new characters and passive skills for future runs.
Myself and the team want to take the time to thank you for reading about our game, as well as our awesome community for the feedback that’s help make Stolen Realm a better game (and made us retain talking bears as a feature), as well streamers like Sacriel, Shroud, Anthony_Kongphan, Strippin, Sequisha, Fairlight_Excalibur and lots of others who we can’t mention because it would make this list too long, for singing the game’s praises and raising the profile of a debut game made by a tiny team. I hope our words about the game have made you eager to begin making your own choices and jump into Stolen Realm with your friends. Enjoy your adventure, available right now on Xbox!
TURN-BASED STRATEGY MEETS ACTION RPG IN THIS DUNGEON CRAWLING LOOTER
Stolen Realm is a simultaneous turn-based tactical dungeon crawling looter with action RPG elements where you control up to 6 heroes, solo or through online co-op, venturing forth in adventures set in a high-fantasy, low-poly world.
Stolen Realm features an innovative turn-based combat system where simultaneous turns allow every team to take their actions at once, creating quick combat encounters that blend the tactical depth of titles like Divinity: Original Sin with the thrill of a fast-paced action RPG. Every battle scales based on the number of players involved, so you can easily jump in and out of the game even in the same playthrough!
With a highly customisable class system, Stolen Realm allows you to create traditional RPG classes or break the mold to forge a unique champion of your own as you draw from a pool of hundreds of possible skills. Make a spell-slinging assassin, a priest born of frost, or a shadow-infused knight. Further customize your build by earning and reforging loot that truly changes the way you play: wield Abbadon the Soul Crusher, a mythic mace that raises slain enemies as skeletal warriors to fight for you, or unsheath the Bloodletter, a cursed sword that grants additional power at the cost of your lifeblood. D&D-like events where attribute-based rolls will have permanent effects on your character add yet another layer to building a character that is truly your own. Anything is possible in this title that keeps compelling choices at the forefront of your experience.
Keeping the core appeal of RPGs at its forefront, Stolen Realm ensures you spend all your time, fighting, building your characters and making compelling choices that determine your immediate path or effect your character, rather than getting bogged down in side quests and other RPG-bloat. After each battle, pick your path between story events, resource gathering, shops and treasure rooms, until you get to the final boss of each procedurally generated adventure. If you’re up to a challenge, crank the difficulty up with 6 different difficulty levels – or pick Hardcore Mode with permadeath, where every battle can be the last!
Also features Roguelike Mode, a fast paced version of the game where you can mix and match builds that are simply not possible in the traditional campaign!
Carve a place in history with your sword and magic. Rise to honor and glory in the battlefield. Recover the Stolen Realm.
Get ready to swing for the fences as MLB The Show 24 is available now with early access for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S! With all-new features, events, and more, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy in the lead-up to the start of Major League Baseball’s season later this month.
There’s a lot to cover before MLB The Show 24’s full release on March 19, 2024, so let’s look at some of the most important content that you can access during early access, what are some of the newest features you can experience in this year’s game, and how Game Pass members can jump in start playing early before its day one availability on March 19, 2024.
Getting Ready for First Pitch
To get you ready for the Big Leagues, head over to TheShow.com and create your MLB The Show Account here at account.theshow.com. If you play online and have an Xbox Game Pass membership, your MLB The Show Account is a helpful feature that you can use to keep your Diamond Dynasty cards collection no matter what platforms you play MLB The Show 24 on (if you also have the game copies for each system). After you create your account, you can link it to your Xbox account, and you’ll be all set to start playing today. Also, by signing up for the Scouting Report newsletter, you can also get free exclusive packs every month starting in April 2024.
Play with Game Pass on Day One Starting March 19
Once again, we’re excited to offer MLB The Show 24 on day one with Game Pass alongside the game’s global launch on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S starting on March 19, 2024. But if you wanted to start playing today, Game Pass members can upgrade their experience with the Digital Deluxe Add-On Bundle – which includes early access starting on March 15, 2024 – that includes the Xbox One Standard Edition Bonus Content, Xbox Series X|S Bonus Content, MVP Edition Bonus Content, and Digital Deluxe Bonus Content. That breaks down to 20,000 Stubs, 2 Diamond Choice Packs, 5 Gold Choice Packs, 20 The Show Packs, 1 Equipment Pack, 1 Cover Athlete Bat Skin, and Double Daily Rewards.
Be Legendary with Diamond Dynasty
MLB The Show 24 brings back all the Legends you love — and introduces some new ones too – to help you build out your squad in Dyamond Dynasty, a card-collecting mode that lets you open packs of players to put together your own competitive roster that where you can compete in single-player and multiplayer modes. This season you can pick from over 190 Legends and create a team with the best players from baseball’s history like Henry “Hank” Aaron, Satchel Paige, and Toni Stone or modern-day Legends like Johan Santana, Andrew Miller, and Brain Dozier.
But where should you begin? That would be the Starter Program where you can dive into Diamond Dynasty content through a variety of modes like Conquest, Ranked, Showdown, and more. You can also jump into the Welcome to the Show event using players from a variety of new card series in MLB The Show 24; jump into Mini Seasons Classic and play through 28 regular season, 3-inning games against other teams in the fictional Global Baseball League; or draft a 26-player team in Battle Royale as you go head-to-head against online opponents. In short, there’s a ton of amazing content for you to dive into this year in MLB The Show 24’s Dyamond Dynasty. Learn more here.
A Show of Their Own
New this season for Road to the Show is the ability to make and play as a female ballplayer, with a special Road to the Show story that evolves with the player as you progress in your career. It will have all the current features of Road to the Show plus a unique-to-women storyline that follows an enduring friendship as it grows in professional baseball.
“This feature was inspired by the stories of women in baseball. Throughout history, women have been making waves in the sport. These include legends such as Toni Stone, who was one of the first women ever to play professional baseball and has a new Storyline in MLB The Show 24,” explains Narrative Designer Mollie Braley. “Our team wanted to create something where dreams become a reality, and we felt like adding this to Road to the Show was the perfect opportunity that gave our players the option to experience this.”
Join the Combine
Also new for this season in Road to the Show is the ability to showcase your talents during the MLB Draft Combine. Just like real-life MLB prospects, you’ll have a chance to show off your skills in front of “the brass” and scouts in an experience that mirrors the real-life skills portion of the MLB combine, even including location. You will then put those skills on display in a series of Showcase games – your performance during all of this will be on display, as you grow your created player stats and impact your draft position. Which MLB Player comparison will you draw? Who will you be drafted by? There’s only one way to find out…
The Story Continues
Last year, MLB The Show launched the start of a multi-year journey, telling some of American baseball’s most important history with Storylines: The Negro Leagues. Now the acclaimed mode is back for year two with Storylines: The Negro Leagues Season 2. We caught up with Communications and Brand Strategist at San Diego Studio Ramone Russell to learn a bit more about what’s in store for this season — you can read about that here on Xbox Wire.
For this upcoming MLB The Show 24 season, there will be 10 new Negro League Legends added, each with their own unique Storyline to experience. Legends like Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard, Hank Aaron, and Toni Stone will be playable at early access’ launch.
The next set of three Negro Leagues players will arrive as a free downloadable content drop in April, and then again in May. Also, all the players from Season 1 of Storylines will be included in MLB The Show 24 at launch, which is great if you missed out on this feature last season.
In addition to The Negro Leagues Season 2, Storylines: Derek Jeter celebrates “The Captain” and the incredible moments that made up his Hall of Fame career. With immersive gameplay and unprecedented interview access, take a journey through Derek Jeter’s career like you’ve never seen before. With new stadiums, uniforms, and (even more) legends, step up to plate as Derek Jeter and try to deliver in the clutch moments that earned him the nickname, “The Captain.”
There’s much more we could go into here, but we really don’t want to keep you off the field any longer. So, grab your bat because your next great baseball experience is waiting for you on deck with MLB The Show 24, which is available today in early access for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S and will be available on day one with Game Pass starting on March 19, 2024. Play ball!

Twist the surroundings to get things done your own way.
Unleash Your Inner Puppet Master in Unables!
Do you crave a world where the laws of physics bend to your will and the results are laugh-out-loud funny? Just try Unables, the physics-based puzzle game that throws traditional controls out the window!
Unables is full of awfully lazy characters. These lethargic souls are simply unwilling to exert even the slightest effort. Shoelaces remain untied, dishes pile up eternally, and even escaping prison seems like an insurmountable task. But fear not, that’s where you step in.
Since controlling the characters directly is out of the question, Unables flips the script entirely. You take charge of the environment itself! Using innovative gameplay mechanics, you manipulate the surroundings, tilt the playing field, and unleash a series of wacky contraptions to nudge, push, and propel the hapless characters toward their objectives.

Get To Know Our Team
Donovan
Technical Program Manager (OS/Hardware Flighting & Hardware Readiness)
Hi, everyone! Wynn here. After a short break, we’re back with another Xbox Insider Team interview. Today we’re chatting with Donovan—a Technical Program Manager who primarily works with the OS and Hardware Flighting sector. How’s it going Donovan?
Going well! Glad to have the time to sit down and chat.
Absolutely man. To begin, let’s tell the readers at home a little about yourself.
Cool cool. So, I was born and raised in Houston, Texas but I moved to Seattle back in 1999, so I’ve been here 24 years now.
There’s a county back in Georgia spelled like “Houston” but they pronounce it “House-ton”, which always confused me as a kid.
Yeah, and some Houstonian’s will even say, “You-ston” as well, so it’s really dealer’s choice.
You got to Seattle in ’99, so are you another Microsoft near-lifer like Dean? [Note for Readers: Dean is another member of the team.]
Oh, no. I only started here back in 2017. Before that I was doing property management for multi-family housing.
Wow, that’s quite the career shift! What made you decide to make the change?
I’ve always been really big into technology, especially building computers. So, an opportunity presented itself to interview for this team and I knew I had to go for it.
Oh cool! You started directly on this team?
Yeah. I remember I had been out on Lake Chelan the week before the interview, and I got sunburned. I was hoping that it would tan over before I had to go in. Well, of course, it didn’t. I walked into the interview room with Brad and Leland, and I remember thinking how silly I looked with a peeling forehead.
Well, they obviously didn’t mind!
No, the interview actually went really well; all things considered. The maybe slightly more embarrassing thing is that shortly after the interview I ended up going to Coachella and getting burnt again. Which ended up still being visible when I took my original employee photo.
Oh man. Those last almost as long as a driver’s license.
Haha. Exactly! Luckily, it wasn’t too visible, but it was definitely there for several years.
I had something similar happen on an old license in high school. They said my hair was obscuring my face, so they made me put it up. But I didn’t have a hair tie, so they gave me a scrunchie and I had to just throw it up. It looked awful.
Okay, so it’s 2017, and you’re here on the Xbox Insider Team. What happens next?
I was mostly working with Jon with regard to collecting feedback from all of the Xbox Insiders and surfacing that to our engineering team. I also partnered with Austin to optimize the survey / reporting experiences all up.
I did that for around three years before I was offered a position on the Customer Support team. So, I transferred over there and worked on Xbox Support for a while. After the pandemic—and through an org shift—I actually ended up back on the Xbox Insider team. Now, I support hardware readiness on devices and accessories for both first- and third-party teams. We also collect tons of data to help with engineering.
Wow! You must have come over with Crews then? [Note for Readers: Crews is another member of the team.]
Yeah, we moved over together as part of that shift.
Sweet deal. Well, can you tell us anything about what you’re working on currently?
Definitely! Right now, I’m [REDACTED].
Oh. Oh, I can’t say any of that can I?
Haha. Sorry, I set you up a little. Unfortunately, the nature of what I work on means I can’t really talk about much publicly. I can’t even tell most of the team half of what I’m doing.
Ah, that’s why your calendar had all those “Top Secret” meetings today.
Something like that.
All right. Well, for the things that you do have clearance to discuss. What’s been your favorite thing you’ve worked on for XIP?
Oh, hands down it was the Project Scorpio launch. That was just such an exciting time, and it’s easily been the most fun I’ve had at Microsoft so far.
I still remember getting my Project Scorpio Edition in retail stores. That was a fun launch.
Let’s move into the rapid-fire questions. Do you have a game that’s really impacted you over the years?
I’ve got a couple of more “artsy / indie” picks. I really love Firewatch and LIMBO. Kind of different games, but both of their atmospheres just really sucked me in. Then, for something a little more recent, I just can’t put down Apex Legends. It’s so good.
I played a good amount of Apex when it first launched, but I ended up going back to my one true love Fornite.
I like the first-person and movement aspects better, so that’s why I stuck with it.
All right. Do you have an all-time favorite song or album?
Hmm. 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago is definitely my favorite song, off their Chicago II album.
Great track. The guitar solo rips.
Yeah, Hendrix even said in interviews that he thought Chicago’s guitarist at the time was the best in the world.
I should check more of them out. I don’t go too far back into that era often.
Okay, any comfort show that you can just put on for background noise?
South Park. Doesn’t matter what season, I could have any episode on and enjoy it.
What about outside of the world of entertainment? Any interests or hobbies?
I absolutely love the outdoors. Being in nature, camping, I can’t get enough. I’m also an avid snowboarder.
You and Tyler should shred some time then. Though, it does occur to me that if you had stayed in Houston, you might never have found snowboarding.
Ha. Funny how life works out that way, huh?
Truly. Well, I see we’re coming up on time. Any final thoughts for our Community?
Just that I’ve always really enjoyed working to make sure that all Xbox Insiders have a voice here, and that I really thank everyone who has submitted feedback over the years. I’ve definitely read a ton of it and it’s so important to our business.
Beautifully said. Thanks so much for stopping by Donovan.
The pleasure was mine!
Xbox Insiders, be sure to be on the lookout for more content all throughout February including more interviews from the team, a trip down memory lane, and so much more. All of our 10th Anniversary content can be found on our Hub Page.
Broken into two eagerly anticipated events, Capcom Highlights showcased what the game publisher has been busy cooking up for Xbox fans. The results look compelling across the board — particularly for fans of action-adventure titles Capcom has become famous for — with new details for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Exoprimal, and Street Fighter 6.
Capcom Highlights, for those who don’t know, is a worldwide online event that is different from Capcom Showcase, where they announce new details about their upcoming games, and deliver the latest news from Capcom to Xbox fans across the globe.
Catch up on all the news below:
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
This single-player, mystical action-strategy game is Capcom’s newest franchise. Its unique setting is surreal and at times psychedelic, full of wild enemy designs and kinetic, particle effect-filled actions. The game is set on a cursed mountain called Mt. Kafuku, where players will take the role of Soh with the goal of cleansing the mountain of corruption and restoring peace to the villages.
Rendered with beautifully modulated lighting effects, dynamic day and night cycles are essential to the experience. During the light of day, Soh joins forces with the rescued villagers to strategize and prepare for impending battles; come nightfall, Soh, along with the Maiden Yoshiro and the villagers, confront the embodiment of defilement on Mt. Kafuku, the Seethe. Soh wields a sword and fights the Seethe in a style reminiscent of a Shinto dance known as Kagura, as well as unleash the immense power within the sword’s Tsuba guards. The player must also constantly adapt to dynamic battle conditions, and take advantage of the different villager roles in order to protect the Maiden and cleanse the mountain of its curse: woodcutters, archers and ascetics are at the ready, altogether providing a nice combination of support abilities and raw strength and skill. You can learn even more about Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess here on Xbox Wire from our recent Xbox Partner Preview broadcast.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is powered by Capcom’s acclaimed RE Engine and will be available day one with Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and Cloud, as well as on Xbox Series X|S and Windows.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Director Hideaki Itsuno and Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi were on hand to explain some exciting announcements surrounding the release of their upcoming title, Dragon’s Dogma 2. Players will be able to party up with as many as three AI-driven “Pawn” characters; the decisions the player makes throughout the game will impact the relationships between their own Arisen and other characters, as well as the interactions and dynamics between those AI characters. How one tackles quest objectives and interactions with other characters is what drives these systems, and sometimes hinges on the player’s ability to employ creative solutions to avoid physical altercations (think: bribery, counterfeiting objects, etc). In a world comprised of over 1000 unique characters, the player’s choices will have a dramatic ripple effect on the interpersonal dynamics among them.
Exoprimal is Capcom’s popular third-personal dinosaur shooter, and a new update — dubbed Title Update 4 — is coming next month. This newest free content drop is a big one, including two new game modes and six additional Exosuit Beta variants for players to equip. The coming season will also include an unexpected but welcome Mega Man crossover, complete with a new boss battle and a grip of Mega Man-themed cosmetics.
The new modes sound Intriguing for sure: “Time Loop Rebellion” is a co-op challenge, where ten players take on the game’s final boss, the Behemoth, in an expanded, even more fearsome form. Players can earn new rewards, including (but not limited to) golden “first class” Exosuit skins. The other new mode, dubbed simply “Custom Match,” lets players create their own lobbies and select their map and mission type(s), à la carte. These custom rooms can be shared cross-platform, thereby expanding the opportunities for cooperative hijinks. There’s even a new setting thrown in for good measure, called “Quick Brawl”; here, Exofighters can jump straight into their favorite final missions, including the more PvP-focused varieties.
As mentioned, six brand new Beta variant Exosuits will be available in the update as well, boosting the total to thirty. And you’ll be suiting up soon, as Exoprimal Title Update 4 is slated to drop on April 17th.
Street Fighter 6
Last but not least, Capcom unveiled a little something to excite the Street Fighter heads. Shown off in the form of a blistering teaser trailer, the publisher announced that fan-favorite demon Akuma will be coming to its top-tier fighting game, Street Fighter 6. The legendary Akuma will be available in Battle Hub, Fighting Ground, as well as World Tour mode, with new missions and a unique area to boot. While no specific release date was given, Capcom says he’s on track to release sometime this Spring.
Stay tuned to Xbox Wire for all the latest news on your favorite upcoming Xbox games.

Exoprimal is an online, team-based action game that pits humanity’s cutting-edge exosuit technology against history’s most ferocious beasts – dinosaurs.
Exosuits are grouped into different roles, and players will pilot these exosuits to hold firm against overwhelming dinosaur swarms in online-only, team-based action game modes.
Dino Survival, the main game mode, sees two teams of five players compete in a variety of PvE and PvP missions.
Players will be transported to the scene of the latest dinosaur outbreak and follow Leviathan’s guidance to complete objectives. The team that completes the mission first will emerge victorious.
Whether players are engaging the other team directly, or fighting alongside them against a common enemy, the aim is to accomplish objectives as quickly as possible. Missions vary depending on player skill and other factors, meaning no two matches will unfold the same way.
I saw the original “Dune” movie in 1984; I didn’t know anything about “Dune” at the time, and to be honest, afterwards I didn’t really understand what I’d just seen. But it piqued my interest enough that I read the book and fell in love with Frank Herbert’s tale of grand conflict, interwoven plots and prophecies, and – of course! – massive sand worms.
Forty years later, with a new “Dune” film in theaters from Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment, tabletop strategy gamers around the world have given Dire Wolf’s board game, Dune: Imperium, a tremendous reception since its release, with numerous awards and recognitions. And now we’re expanding the conflict on Arrakis to a whole new world of gamers in a crossplay digital adaptation on Xbox.
Dune: Imperium combines deck-building and worker placement to deliver a highly thematic board game experience, where leaders plot and scheme to maneuver their pieces into appropriate positions in a complex world of intrigue. Our game welcomes each player to portray a leader of a Great House of the Landsraad, fighting over control of Arrakis and the spice trade.
Each player is not only waging a land war for precious territory and resources, however. They must also court the key pillars of the Imperium – the Emperor, the Landsraad Council, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, CHOAM, even the Fremen – all NPC factions offering strategic advantages to any House who earns their favor. In one game, you might play as Duke Leto Atreides and befriend the Fremen and make an alliance with the Spacing Guild. In another, you might be Baron Harkonnen, exploiting your opponent’s weaknesses with the Bene Gesserit’s secrets and schemes, while tying your destiny to the Emperor.
We take a “what if?” approach to gameplay, staying true to what each faction should feel like within the context of the game, but allowing players to divert from the specific political alliances and events in the book allowing a new, yet authentic, “Dune”narrative to emerge in every playthrough.
This “what if” approach goes even further. In the book, one of the reasons that Duke Leto becomes a target is that the Atreides family has attracted some of the best allies in the Imperium. Thufir Hawat is a celebrated Mentat, Gurney Halleck is an inspirational military leader, while Duncan Idaho is an unrivaled swordsmaster. In Dune: Imperium, all of these powerful figures who loyally served House Atreides in the books are now available to any House to recruit. What if the Beast Rabban rose to power with Duncan at his side? Or if House Richese aligned with Lady Jessica? You get the idea.
Finally, the story of “Dune” is not only about politics. Why would you be recruiting swordmasters and military geniuses if there weren’t wars to be waged? So, we obviously had to inject a healthy dose of military conflict into the game. Every round, there is a conflict that players can engage with, a skirmish or battle to be won. You’ll have to decide whether to use your cards to send your agents into battle or toward other endeavors. Keeping a watchful eye on your opponents is key; if a battle is heating up between two of your rivals, perhaps it’s better to sit it out and instead muster some troops for future conflicts. Much like the films, we’ve made a game where the fate of the Imperium is determined by the choices you make. What strings will you pull? Who will you trust or betray? How much will you claim, destroy, or sacrifice? With every card comes another choice and challenge that takes the story in a new direction, making each game an epic and memorable adventure.
Experience the ultimate blend of strategy and intrigue as you navigate the treacherous landscapes of Arrakis in the award-winning board game Dune: Imperium!
* Battle online, locally with AI, or against the formidable House Hagal.
* Earn Achievements that showcase your prowess as a leader.
* Embark on more than a dozen Challenges that will test your wit and cunning.
* Compete for badges in the rotating Skirmish Mode where no two games are the same!
Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Raise your banner above the vast wasteland before you. As the Great Houses of the Landsraad marshal their forces and their spies, whom will you influence, and whom will you betray? A tyrannical Emperor. The secretive Bene Gesserit. The shrewd Spacing Guild. The ferocious Fremen of the Deep Desert. The power of the Imperium can be yours, but war is not the only way to claim it.
Dune: Imperium blends deck-building and worker placement in a deeply thematic new strategy game where the fate of the Empire hangs on your decisions. Will you seek political allies or rely upon military might? Economic strength or subtle intrigues? A council seat… or a sharpened blade? The cards are dealt. The choice is yours. The Imperium awaits.
In Dune: Imperium, you’ll step into the role of one of the leaders of the Great Houses of the Imperium in a struggle to control the planet Arrakis and the invaluable Spice it provides.
The game plays out in a series of ten rounds, each of which is defined by a new Conflict on the surface of the planet; some award critical resources, and some provide Victory Points that will propel you to dominance. But choose your battles wisely: spread your forces too thin, and you’ll find your enemies growing too strong to oppose.
Each round, you’ll draw a hand of five cards from your deck, which will get stronger over the course of the game as you acquire new cards. Each card can be played in one of two ways: To send an Agent out into the Imperium to gather resources, or to Reveal at the end of the round to purchase new powerful cards. You must maintain a careful balance to get the most of the resources available to you. How will you find your path?
As your game progresses, you’ll vie for Influence with four factions of the Imperium: The Emperor, the economically powerful Spacing Guild, the mysterious Bene Gesserit, and the ferocious Fremen of the deep deserts. Earning Influence among the various groups helps you to earn the Victory Points you need…but will you compete with your rivals for their favor, or abandon alliances to pursue other opportunities?
Many strategies are at your disposal, and many paths to victory. The cards are dealt. The choice is yours. The Imperium awaits.
Huge card variety suited for different play styles.
