Dune: Awakening

Warhammer: Chaos & Conquest is a strategy MMO-lite released in 2019 across mobile and PC. After the initial launch, its player base has declined and it's now a niche game supported by a small, dedicated community. The Warhammer IP gives it some retention, but it's far from mainstream. Current estimated daily active players are a few thousand.

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.
