Dune Imperium – Immortality Digital Expansion Coming Soon

(Edit 6/4/25): Wow, that was quick. They’ve now announced it will be available on all platforms on June 10!

Two posts in a day, but this one excites me and I’ve just had time to actually write it up after a few days.

Hence why the “news” here is more “what excites me” and not “breaking and you must read it here first!”

Dire Wolf Digital is knocking it out of the park recently in the digital realm.

Wednesday is going to have a review of the latest Clank digital expansion (check it out when it drops!), but last Friday, news was released about a new digital expansion for their other hugely popular boardgame adaptation, Dune Imperium.

Yes, after the wonderful Rise of Ix expansion, the other Dune Imperium expansion is going to be dropping sometime in the next few months.

See their announcement here.

Dune Imperium – Immortality adds the Bene Tleilax and genetic modification, letting you move along the Tleilax track for important benefits, as well as graft certain cards to other cards, enhancing their effects.

The expansion adds 48 new cards, 30 of which are new Imperium cards.

Many of these have the “grafting” mechanic, where you have combine the effects of both cards.

From the announcement page:

“Graft cards can’t be played alone; they must be combined with another card. But once grafted together, both cards act as one, granting you access to both of their Agent icons and card effects for the turn. “

Why you would want to trash the Sardaukar Legion, I don’t know? But this illustrates the effects of grafting nicely.

It also introduces two new tracks, a Research track and a Tleilax track. The latter is actually similar to the other faction tracks, except you can’t gain an alliance with them.

They will work with anybody.

Tleilax cards can be purchased separately using “specimens” rather than the usual cost.

These go into your deck just like regular Imperium cards, but they just have a different way of getting them.

Finally, it adds “Family Atomics,” which basically allows you to, once per game, wipe the Imperium row if you don’t like the cards that are available for purchase.

On the table, this should be used no matter whether you’re playing with Immortality or not, but in the app I assume you have to be playing with that expansion before it’s implemented.

It works nicely with Rise of Ix, but you’ll also be able to pick and choose which expansion you play with.

Best of all, when you decide to just play with one, you won’t have to go through the entire deck and remove the cards you’re not using!

I have both expansions in my table copy of the game, but I haven’t played with them yet.

I’ve played with Rise of Ix on the app a lot, however.

I’m really looking forward to when this one drops.

Wishlist it on Steam today!

Though it will probably come out on all platforms at the same time like the new Clank expansion did.

However, there are no guarantees.

Also, check out the announcement for more because I didn’t mention everything!

I wanted to leave something for their article.
