Legends of IdleOn

Endless Ocean: Luminous is a 2024 release from Nintendo and Arika for the Switch, building on a recognizable niche series focused on underwater exploration. Although recently released and backed by Nintendo, its genre (exploration/simulation) typically attracts a dedicated but smaller audience compared to action or competitive titles. Early post-launch engagement is likely solid, but the adventure/exploration focus generally leads to moderate, not massive, daily concurrency.

Legends of IdleOn is a well-known idle MMORPG created by indie developer LavaFlame2, released in late 2020 and available on multiple platforms (PC, Android, iOS). While it is not developed by a major studio, the game has remained popular within its niche, fueled by regular content updates and a dedicated player community. Given its cross-platform support, ongoing development, and its distinct idle MMO format, a daily player count in the 25,000–40,000 range is typical for active indie MMOs of this scope about 3-4 years after launch.
