Eastward Legend: The Empyrean

VS

Roblox

Eastward Legend: The Empyrean is a mobile fantasy RPG published by Tencent Games and Gameflier and developed by Seasun Games. The game is purportedly a mobile MMOARPG with a persistent world and multiplayer elements. As a recent release from a major publisher in the genre-popular Chinese mobile market, initial daily players may be around 20,000, but likely not at the level of the top grossing titles given limited western awareness and promotion.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
