HoI4 and Dune: Spice Wars Will Get Major Expansions Today
In a few hours, DLC for the games Dune: Spice Wars and Hearts of Iron IV will be released on Steam.
Today is a strong day in terms of premieres of expansions to popular strategies. In a few hours, the games Dune: Spice Wars and Hearts of Iron IV will receive new DLCs.
Dune: Spice Wars - House Vernius of Ix
The first DLC to arrive is for Dune: Spice Wars - House Vernius of Ix.
- The expansion will go on sale today.
- The DLC will be sold on Steam.
- This is a standalone DLC, so the full version of the game is required to play.
- The price of the expansion isn't known at the moment.
This is the first DLC to Dune: Spice Wars. The expansion will add to the game the titular playable faction - the Vernius family from the Ix Confederation, providing the highest level of technological advancement among the current conflict factions.
We are interested in whether the DLC will improve the game's activity results, as they are currently weak - yesterday's record was just 1,671 players simultaneously.
Hearts of Iron IV: Trial of Allegiance
Today, the Trial of Allegiance will also be released for Hearts of Iron IV. In contrast to Dune: Spice Wars, this game continues to hold up very well - nearly 39,000 people were playing HoI4 on Steam simultaneously at the peak of yesterday's activity. This result is all the more impressive, as the game will be celebrating its eighth birthday in June.
- The DLC will premiere today on Steam.
- The price of the expansion is $14.99.
- This is also a not standalone DLC.
The expansion will take us to South America, focusing on expanding and improving aspects of the game related to playing with Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, which will include, among others, full goal trees for each of these countries.

Crusader Kings 3 with a realistic balding system.
It should be mentioned that the Legends of the Dead expansion for Crusader Kings III was released a few days ago. Its reception has been quite lukewarm so far - on Steam, only 56% of player reviews are positive.
Patch 1.12.1 also made its debut alongside the release of the DLC. Adding a realistic male baldness system is one of the most intriguing changes, fulfilling a long-time request from fans.
It's worth adding that the release of the expansion and update improved the CK3 activity results. Yesterday, more than 25,000 people were playing the game on Steam at the peak of the day. While last Wednesday's record was 16,000.
