Dune: Awakening

Re:Birth Online is a lesser-known action fantasy RPG released in 2020 by CaretGames. As a PC open-world RPG, it likely launched with modest expectations and hasn't maintained major visibility since release. Its age (4 years) and lack of widespread recognition suggest a small, niche but persistent player base typical of indie MMORPGs. There is no indication of major publisher support or ongoing expansions that would drive significant numbers higher.

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.
