Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Champions Online is a superhero-themed MMORPG developed by Cryptic Studios and released in 2009. The game is over a decade old, well past the typical peak for most MMOs, and has not had major recent expansions or mainstream publicity. Like many legacy MMOs, it maintains a small but devoted player base. Its daily player count is estimated to be in the low hundreds.

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.
