The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Cornucopias is a relatively new open-world sandbox game, released in August 2023. It appears to be an indie project with aspirations toward persistent, multiplayer gameplay, possibly including MMO elements, but lacks major publisher backing. As a niche and still-growing title, especially in a crowded market, its daily player base is likely modest—around a few hundred daily active players.

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.
