The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Code2040 is a multiplayer shooter/fighting game released in 2021 by WANIN Games and Team Weaver. It initially attracted some regional interest, but never gained large international traction and is not actively covered by major game media. Given its age (over 3 years), moderate visibility, and the absence of major recent updates or global publisher push, its active daily player base is likely quite low.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
