Robocraft 2

Age of Empires Online: Celeste Fan Project is a fan-run revival of the original Age of Empires Online, which was discontinued by Microsoft. As a community project launched in 2017, it maintains a niche but active RTS player base, mostly composed of dedicated fans. While not as popular as mainstream RTS games, its weekend activity peaks and ongoing support likely keep daily active players in the low thousands range. It is not run by major publishers but has support from a dedicated fan community.

Robocraft 2 is a follow-up to the original Robocraft, released in late 2023. Developed by Freejam, it's an action/shooter and vehicle builder with science fiction elements, but hasn't seen the widespread appeal or virality of leading PvP titles. The first game had moderate indie success but faded over time; initial launch interest for Robocraft 2 saw a brief spike, but player numbers have since dropped, matching typical indie multiplayer trends. Estimated daily players are likely in the low thousands, with community-driven activity and updates keeping it marginally active.
