TCG World Metaverse

Dune: Awakening

TCG World Metaverse is a relatively new (2022) open-world sandbox metaverse project, but it has not gained notable mainstream traction. Its publisher/developer is not well-known, and player engagement for crypto/metaverse games tends to be niche after the initial launch hype subsides. Estimated to have a small but persistent daily user base typical of smaller Web3 projects.

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.
