Emperor Battle for Dune

Emperor Battle for Dune is a real-time strategy game from Funcom, the creators of Age of Empires.

The game is scheduled for release on February 10 in Europe, but in the US, it's scheduled to come out on February 28. It features three playable factions, the Illuminati, Sardaukar, and Sardaukar, the planet-trekking Sardaukar and the Dune Sea. According to the company, the players will be able to choose their race, gender, and allegiance.

"As the return to classic Dune strategy games, we're aiming for a gaming environment that more closely resembles what we see in traditional RTS games," said Jay Wilson, president of Funcom.
