Last Epoch

eDominations is a browser-based persistent-world strategy simulation game, similar in format and player base to titles like eRepublik. While niche, these games retain a loyal but relatively small community due to their social and political features, many of whom are highly engaged. The game is now several years old (released 2017) and no longer sees major growth, but has a steady player base that likely falls in the low hundreds daily.

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.
