Dune: Awakening

Eve of Destruction: Redux is a niche Vietnam War-themed multiplayer mod and standalone game derived from the Battlefield series. Released in 2016 and not published by a major studio, it caters primarily to a small, dedicated community. After many years on the market with no mainstream exposure or major updates, its daily active player count is very low, likely in the low hundreds or below. Its genre tags and origins indicate it's not an MMO.

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.
