The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Creative Destruction is a battle royale shooter from NetEase Games, released in 2018. While it had some popularity at launch as a mobile and PC alternative to Fortnite, player numbers have declined significantly due to competition and lack of major updates. As of 2024, its daily player base is likely very low, with most activity in specific regions. NetEase is a major publisher, but the game is well past its peak.

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.
