Dune: Imperium Digital Release Notes: The Test of Humanity

We’re excited to land this spicy release in time for the holidays!

We’ve got a number of updates in this patch , including our first test of the Events feature! The Test of Humanity opens 5PM (1700) UTC on Friday Dec. 15, and ends at 5AM (500) UTC on Sunday Dec 17th! More details coming soon!

Now to the Updates: 

After considering player feedback, turn timers for multiplayer have been reduced from 3 minutes to 90 seconds. 

Behavior around turn timers, especially during time-out warnings and end of turn, have been improved. 

This release adds Chinese localization to the game! Please note that the Chinese version of the rulebook located in Settings will be added in a subsequent release. 

We’ve also made improvements to the Skirmish feature, improved the flow of combat, and responded to several quality of life improvements.

A big thanks from all of us to the Early Access community of Dune Imperium: Digital, both for playing and for sharing your feedback!
