During this year’s Dice Tower Summer Spectacular, publisher Dire Wolf unveiled Rise of Ix; an upcoming expansion to the critically acclaimed Dune: Imperium designed by author Paul Dennen. The Rise of Ix expansion is designed for 1 - 4 players and features no less than three new Houses that enter the fray for dominance over the sandy dunes of Arrakis including House Ecaz and Vernius as described by the publisher:

“Rise of Ix will focus on the technocratic society of Ix, and adds new Imperium, Intrigue, and Conflict cards to the game. Rise of Ix will also add brand new mechanics to Dune: Imperium, including dreadnoughts and Ixian Technology tiles. Dreadnoughts are mighty war machines that enter combat like troops, but pack even more firepower, and are indestructible! Dreadnoughts can also temporarily take control of locations on Arrakis. These powerful units will cost players Solari to construct, so decisions on how to prioritize spending are key. Ixian Technology tiles can be acquired for spice, and unlike cards, do not shuffle into players decks. The tiles are instead placed directly in front of a player, where they provide a permanent upgrade to abilities.”

At the time of writing, Dune: Imperium - Rise of Ix is scheduled for a retail release during the holiday season of 2021.
