Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Case 2: Animatronics Survival is a horror survival game from 2018 by Walnut Games. While it had modest popularity among indie horror enthusiasts, it never achieved mainstream success. Six years after release, daily player numbers are likely very low, especially as it has not been supported extensively by major updates or a large publisher.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.
