DarkStory Online is an indie fantasy MMORPG released in 2016 and developed by BraveWolf. As a small-scale indie MMO, it's likely to have a niche but dedicated community, with estimated daily players in the low hundreds. Older indie MMOs without major publisher backing typically maintain relatively small, loyal user bases after several years on the market.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War has currently around 70k players daily.
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.
