Last Epoch

Dransik is a revival of a classic early 2000s MMORPG, but its 2022 re-release targets a niche audience mostly composed of fans of retro-styled, open-world RPGs. The game's player base is quite small, consistent with many low-profile indie MMOs, especially without major marketing, recent popularity surges, or a large publisher. The gameplay supports persistent multiplayer world interactions, qualifying it as an MMO.

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.
