Dune: Awakening

Luna Online: Reborn is a relaunch of the classic Luna Online MMORPG, initially popular in the late 2000s. While the 2017 release revived some interest among nostalgic fans, the game's age, modest indie presence, and lack of major publisher support likely resulted in a very small but dedicated player base. The genre and persistent world structure confirm it as an MMO, but activity is low compared to current mainstream titles.

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.
