Monster Hunter Rise

Dungeons & Dragons Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2006. Though it peaked in its early years, it retains a small but stable fanbase due to the D&D brand, ongoing updates, and niche appeal among classic MMO fans. Its MMO status is clear, and current daily active player estimates are conservative due to the game's age and low mainstream presence.

Monster Hunter Rise is a major action RPG by Capcom, released in 2021 for Switch/PC. Its playerbase peaked in its first year, with strong support for about 2 years due to expansions and seasonal content. As of mid-2024, population has declined but remains active, likely with around 20,000-30,000 daily players across all platforms due to ongoing appeal, co-op gameplay, and Capcom's franchise reputation.
