Portal Games teams with Legendary Entertainment and Herbert Properties on new line of Dune board games

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.
