Dune: Awakening

Code2040 is a multiplayer shooter/fighting game released in 2021 by WANIN Games and Team Weaver. It initially attracted some regional interest, but never gained large international traction and is not actively covered by major game media. Given its age (over 3 years), moderate visibility, and the absence of major recent updates or global publisher push, its active daily player base is likely quite low.

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.
