Dune: Awakening

"Ghost Story: Love Destiny" is a new cross-platform RPG released in March 2024 by major publishers NetEase and VNG. Its themes and tags suggest a story-driven MMORPG or online RPG designed for Asian markets, a genre/region that typically has high short-term engagement. As a recent launch from notable publishers, it likely enjoys reasonable early traction. However, unless backed by mass popularity, daily numbers are likely in the low tens of thousands.

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.
