Portal Games has partnered with Gale Force Nine, Legendary Entertainment, Herbert Properties and Genuine Entertainment to launch a new range of officially licensed board games set within the Dune universe.
Taking inspiration from both Frank Herbert’s book series and Warner Bros’ upcoming Dune film, Portal Games will launch a new trilogy of games, kicking off with Dune: House Secrets in Q4 2021.
Designed by Ignacy Trzewiczek and written by Przemysław Rymer, Dune: House Secrets will be a story-driven adventure game that uses the same cooperative game system seen in Portal’s award-winning Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game.
In the game, players cooperatively explore different regions of the world, follow leads and leverage allies, all while using a variety of physical and digital game components.
