AQ First Contact is a strategy game released in 2019 by indie developer Seven Point Red. As a multi-platform title with modest social presence and no major publisher, it likely peaked early and now maintains a small core audience. It does not have the hallmarks of an MMO (no evidence of persistent world or large-scale multiplayer).

Estimated Daily Players

~6.5 thousand

We estimate that Blade & Soul has currently around 6.5k players daily.

Blade & Soul is a fantasy MMORPG developed by NCsoft, released in 2012. It has seen a steady decline since its western launch peak, but retains a dedicated core in Korea and a smaller western audience. Supported by updates but considered past its prime. Major publisher and persistent world keep the player base stable, but numbers have dropped significantly from its peak.
