Dune: Awakening

Requiem: Memento Mori is an older horror MMORPG developed by Gravity Interactive, known for darker themes and mature content. The game launched in the late 2000s and has maintained a small, dedicated player base, but is now quite niche with very limited daily activity typical for legacy free-to-play MMORPGs outside major publishers. Based on genre, age, and publisher reputation, current daily players are likely in the low hundreds.

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.
