Blue Protocol

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.

Blue Protocol launched in 2023 with Bandai Namco and Amazon Games backing, generating initial interest as a new anime-styled MMORPG. However, player retention has struggled in both Japan and NA/EU, with declining trends post-launch and mixed reviews on content updates. As a persistent-world online RPG featuring large-scale multiplayer, it qualifies as an MMO, but current daily active players likely hover around 20,000 globally given the drop-off since release.
