Last Epoch

Diablo Immortal is a mobile/PC action RPG launched by Blizzard in mid-2022. Despite controversy at launch, the game retains a sizable audience due to frequent content updates, Diablo brand loyalty, and a strong presence in Asian markets. However, playership is below launch peak, with daily players estimated between 70,000–120,000, settling toward the lower end post 2-year mark.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
