Dune: Awakening

Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 Multiplayer is a tactical World War II shooter released by Tripwire Interactive in 2013. The game has a dedicated cult following but has seen its player base decline over the years due to age, niche genre, and new competition. Estimated daily active players is modest, primarily sustained by enthusiasts and occasional Steam sales or events.

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.
