Dune: Awakening

Lords Mobile has been a popular mobile real-time strategy game since its 2016 release, remaining one of IGG's flagship titles. Despite its age, the game benefits from regular updates, global reach, and a sustained marketing push, especially in the mobile strategy market, where it remains a top-grossing contender. However, natural attrition and competition from newer titles mean its daily player base is lower than its peak but remains substantial.

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.
