Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Empyrion: Galactic Survival is a sandbox space survival game released in 2020 by Eleon Game Studios. As an indie title with open-world and multiplayer sandbox elements, it retains a loyal but niche audience. Based on its age, continued updates, and regular activity on platforms like Steam, it likely has a few thousand daily active players, primarily from its core community. However, its multiplayer scope does not reach MMO scale.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.
