The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Combat Arms: Reloaded is a relaunch of the original Combat Arms, an older free-to-play first-person shooter. The game had its peak popularity years ago, and while it retains a small, dedicated legacy community, its daily players have significantly dwindled due to age and lack of widespread updates or marketing. It is not an MMO, as it features standard match-based lobbies rather than a persistent world or large-scale multiplayer infrastructure.

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.
