Dune: Awakening

Club Penguin Journey is a fan-made remake of the classic Club Penguin, relaunched in 2023 as a web browser game. Given the enduring nostalgia around Club Penguin and the moderate community around fan servers, it's likely to have a small but steady daily player base in the low thousands, especially as it is relatively new (released in 2023) and accessible via web browser.

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.
