Crossout

VS

The Walking Dead: Empires

Crossout is a vehicular combat MMO developed by Targem Games and published by Gaijin Entertainment, released in 2017. The game retains a steady niche following due to regular updates, cross-platform availability, and the popularity of free-to-play vehicle combat. While past its initial peak, Crossout still maintains an active, though niche, player base supported by its persistent online model and regular events.

The Walking Dead: Empires is a blockchain-based survival game published by Gala Games and released in late 2023. Gala's platforms tend to attract niche but small audiences, and activity usually fades quickly without major press or sustained engagement. Given the game's tie-in to The Walking Dead IP but relatively minor press since launch, it likely has a modest daily player base. Not an MMO: its design seems to focus on survival and base-building, not large persistent worlds with hundreds of live players.
