Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Cubic Castles is a sandbox MMO building game released in 2014 by Cosmic Cow LLC. It targets a young audience with its creative building features and is available on mobile and PC, which supports a moderate daily active user base despite its age. However, its indie origins and niche appeal limit its growth compared to major MMOs. It is recognized for persistent worlds and player interaction, which supports its MMO classification.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.
