ELSWORD JAPAN

VS

The Elder Scrolls Online

ELSWORD is a long-running side-scrolling MMORPG originally launched globally in the early 2010s, with its Japanese service shown here. While once popular, the game's player base has significantly declined due to its age (over 10 years since original release) and competition from newer games. The Japanese version, running since 2019, likely has a small but loyal community, estimated at around 2,000 daily players.

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a major MMORPG developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda. Released in 2014, it has maintained a strong player base through regular major expansions and updates. Although its peak concurrent userbase was higher after launch and at key expansion drops, it remains one of the top MMORPGs with a healthy, active population across PC and consoles. Based on industry knowledge and typical MMO retention with major publisher support, a current estimate of 120,000 daily players is reasonable.
