Dune: Awakening

KurtzPel is a PvP-focused anime action game developed by KOG Studios, released in 2019. It had moderate attention at launch but has seen a significant decline in player activity over time, with low numbers observed on platforms like Steam. As a niche title with limited ongoing mainstream exposure or recent major updates, its daily active player base is likely under 1,000.

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.
