Dune: Awakening

Warface is a free-to-play online first-person shooter released in 2013, with backing from major publishers like Tencent and Trion Worlds. Its longevity is supported by frequent updates, a strong Russian/Eastern European player base, and availability across multiple platforms (console and PC). However, it has seen gradual global population decline outside CIS regions, affecting active player numbers. It is not a full-scale MMO, as it's room-based rather than persistent world.

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.
