Dune: Awakening

"Combat Magic: Spells and Swords" is a multiplayer fantasy action game developed by Kisunja, recognizable mostly on mobile platforms. While not an MMO (matches are session-based, not persistent worlds), it has maintained modest popularity due to its unique mix of melee, magic, and shooting, especially in certain mobile markets. Based on genre, studio size, recent social activity, and mobile market norms, current daily active players are estimated around 10,000.

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.
