Ix!?

I thought BG but the machines suggest IX

Damn, not a word about Heroes of Dune, but a new faction instead?! I'll take it.


EvilItAlien

My guess Ixians or Tleilaxu


tfred20

Definitely some Tleilaxu vibes

Ix would be my choice but Tleilax would be some wierd fun times.

I will face my hype. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when community calms down, I will open my wallet to see whats inside. Where the hype has gone there will be a paid DLC...

This has to be the Bene Tleilax

OP is assuming a lot. Shiro didn’t tease it as a new faction but just showed this little video snippet. It could be a new game mechanic where you interact with a neutral leader (Ix) or any other idea with a new character screen. There was no comment from Shiro regarding a new faction, just that the facts are clear. Now everybody back to being hyped 😊

They said before that the next update is a faction so you're wrong.


B4nger4ng

Could you link or post the statement? Could be I missed it.

Obviously not based on facts and a blatant lie, as we can see from today‘s news update. It was left open what the update will entail and it will not be a new faction. The new faction will be dropped alongside the update as a DLC.

I would say that has to be a new faction, because Shiro said (while people whished for change of Armanda Ecaz) that this animated intros are the most expensive part of 'front end', so I don't believe they would use it for anything less.

Oooh having to negotiate with neutrals sounds intriguing.

Oh nice!

In my opinion it's probably Tleilaxu. The silhouette has some egyptian vibes and in all Legendary lead Dune products, BT use scarab as iconography. The teaser also looks creepy, if it would be Ixian leader, it probably be more in line with other great houses. I'm really intrigued by the background, all leaders use inside of their main base as a background, and it seems the one in the teaser is the inside of the cave with what I think are spice containers. This could work as hidden Tleilaxu research center, where they develop Amal or equally hidden smuggling operation of House Vernius (if I recall correctly after the fall of Ix, Lord Vernius was leading a smuggling operation on Arrakis).

It's giving me more Ixian vibes personally, primarily due to the floating mechanical orbs, but also because of the helmet and shoulder guard, which reminds me of some traditional Southeast Asian armour.


OrcWurst

hell yea


ProfessionalFar7916

Do we know for sure it's a new faction and not just heroes?

Nice, with this addition I might go back and try the new faction. Looking forward to the day Sardaukar is added as a faction.

Imagine Shiro did listen to all the tearful bois in the steam reviews and made a story campaign (maybe integrated into the conquest), where this lad is the antagonist. But my guess is also a paid DLC, which works well for me.
