Beast Lord: The New Land

VS

Scum

Beast Lord: The New Land is a mobile real-time strategy/exploration game released in late 2022. Such games tend to retain moderate audiences after launch, especially on mobile platforms, but rarely reach the scale of major MMO titles. As of 2024, with typical lifecycle curves and the lack of major publisher clout, I estimate around 30,000 daily active players globally.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
