AFK Journey launched in early 2024 from Farlight Games, building on the popularity of the AFK Arena franchise. It is a cross-platform, casual strategy/adventure RPG with significant mobile presence and active social media. Given its newness, high profile in the mobile gaming space, and ongoing updates/events, daily active players are likely robust, with around 150,000 being a reasonable estimate at mid-2024.

Estimated Daily Players

~70 thousand

We estimate that The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War has currently around 70k players daily.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
