Dune: Imperium Digital 2.2.0 Patch Notes

A Note About Ranked Rollover

Today’s patch release unintentionally caused the current Ranked season to end, and a new one to begin. (We’re apparently in one of the timelines we weren’t able to foresee.) We’ve been investigating the issue and, while we’ve identified the cause, it’s not something that we’d be able to undo without additional complications. Because of this, we’ve decided to allow the premature rollover to stand, and the new Ranked season to play out as normal, starting today and ending on April 1st. Apologies to those affected!

New Features!
