Dune: Awakening

Angel Love Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2006, with traditional anime-style RPG elements. The game peaked in the late 2000s and would have seen significant player decline over time, typical for niche MMOs from smaller publishers. While there may be a very small dedicated community remaining on private or regional servers, the active player base is extremely limited by 2024.

As of late August 2025, Dune: Awakening had approximately 14,000 concurrent players, reflecting a significant decline from its peak of over 189,000 concurrent players shortly after launch in June 2025. This decrease is attributed to factors such as player burnout, game design issues, and technical problems. Despite these challenges, the developers remain optimistic, citing strong player retention and a 10-year development roadmap that includes plans to explore new planets and regions within the Dune universe.
