World of Warcraft Classic

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.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
