Ashes of Creation

Bit Heroes is a retro-style MMORPG released in 2017, available on multiple platforms. While it initially gained a fair following for its pixel art and accessible gameplay, its daily player base has declined with age. As an indie MMO, it maintains a small but loyal community, likely in the low thousands, supported by ongoing updates and mobile access. Its age and lack of major publisher support suggest further decline since release.

Ashes of Creation is a highly anticipated MMORPG developed by Intrepid Studios, with its initial release slated for late 2023. However, as of mid-2024, it is still in early access/alpha with limited player access rather than a full public launch. Despite significant hype and regular updates, daily player numbers remain relatively modest due to lack of full release, likely around 10,000 active daily testers and early adopters.
