Dune: Awakening

Eve: Echoes is a mobile adaptation of the Eve Online universe, launched in 2020 by NetEase in collaboration with CCP Games. As a mobile MMO with a persistent universe, it initially attracted a strong audience, but its player base has declined since launch due to competition and typical mobile MMO retention trends. It remains moderately active due to its strong niche appeal, but is well past its peak. Estimated current DAP is in the 15,000–20,000 range.

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.
