Odin: Valhalla Rising

Ashes of Creation is a highly anticipated fantasy MMORPG developed by Intrepid Studios. Although its official release date is listed as late 2023, as of mid-2024 it is still in active alpha/beta testing phases rather than full launch. While there is considerable interest and a strong community, access is limited to testers and supporters, which restricts active daily players to the low tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. Interest is high, but without a full public launch, numbers remain modest.

Odin: Valhalla Rising is a mobile and PC MMORPG developed by Lionheart Studio and published by Kakao Games. It launched in 2021 and initially attracted significant attention in Korea and parts of Asia. As an MMORPG with cross-platform play, it benefits from the strong MMO market in those regions, but daily active players are likely lower outside of Asia. Given the game's age and the typical lifecycle for mobile MMORPGs, combined with Kakao's publishing power, a daily player count in the 60,000–70,000 range is plausible, with retention primarily in Korea and Taiwan.
