Monster Hunter Rise

Cereal Soup is a niche animal roleplaying game first released in 2015. It is community-driven and, while it once had an active core of fans, it has seen a significant decline in player activity due to a lack of recent major updates and limited marketing. The genre and indie development suggest a small but loyal player base, likely under 300 daily players.

Monster Hunter Rise is a major action RPG by Capcom, released in 2021 for Switch/PC. Its playerbase peaked in its first year, with strong support for about 2 years due to expansions and seasonal content. As of mid-2024, population has declined but remains active, likely with around 20,000-30,000 daily players across all platforms due to ongoing appeal, co-op gameplay, and Capcom's franchise reputation.
