Dune: Awakening

Million Lords is a real-time strategy mobile game released in 2019. As a mobile title from an indie developer, it benefits from accessibility and potentially a global player base, but lacks the sustained marketing power and ongoing expansion content typical of larger publishers. RTS mobile games tend to retain a modest but loyal player base for several years, but it's unlikely to have a massive daily active user total after 5 years. Current DAP estimate is about 15,000, based on typical mobile strategy lifecycle trends.

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.
