Dune: Awakening

Cartoon Strike is an indie multiplayer shooter released in 2020, developed and published by Gametoria. As a small-scale, niche title without support from a major publisher and lacking significant mainstream exposure or updates, its player base has likely declined since launch. It does not have the player retention seen in long-running, high-profile shooters. Current daily active players are likely low, in the range of about 100.

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.
