- Our take
- It is a standalone replacement, not an add-on: reviewers rate it better than the original, but you are buying a second full game. Get it if you want the newer version; skip it if base plus Rise of Ix already suits you.
- What it adds
- Spies, sandworms, nine leaders and a six-player team mode.
- What it fixes
- Combat is more decisive, driven by sandworms (Polygon).
- What you need first
- Dune: Imperium – Uprising
