Monster Hunter Rise

Allods Online is a Russian-developed MMORPG originally launched in 2009, with the Russian version supported by Mail.Ru. The game has a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer, fitting MMO criteria. While it had high popularity in its early years, activity has waned due to age (over a decade old) and the declining Russian MMO market. However, it likely maintains a small but stable core audience due to its unique style and steady content updates in the RU region.

Monster Hunter Rise is a major action RPG by Capcom, released in 2021 for Switch/PC. Its playerbase peaked in its first year, with strong support for about 2 years due to expansions and seasonal content. As of mid-2024, population has declined but remains active, likely with around 20,000-30,000 daily players across all platforms due to ongoing appeal, co-op gameplay, and Capcom's franchise reputation.
