Dune: Awakening

Tamashi: Rise of Yokai is a 2022 mobile MMORPG from Eyougame, known for anime-inspired MMO titles targeting Asian and international markets. These games often see tens of thousands of daily players in their first year, but typically experience a decline as the user base stabilizes. Given its age (~2 years), genre, and smaller publisher, a conservative estimate is ~15,000 daily players. It qualifies as an MMO due to persistent online worlds and large-scale multiplayer features typical for Eyougame mobile MMOs.

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.
