Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Darkwind: War on Wheels is a niche, indie vehicular combat and strategy game released in 2014. It's well over 5 years old with a small developer, and has never had mainstream appeal. Based on its age, genre, and lack of recent community buzz or major updates, active player base is likely very low and limited to a small, dedicated group.

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.
