Escape from Tarkov

Wakfu

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.

Wakfu is a tactical MMORPG by Ankama, released in 2012. While it has a loyal niche player base, the game's age and relatively modest presence outside of French-speaking regions has led to a gradual decline in player numbers. As of 2024, it's likely to average around 4,000 daily players, with periodic increases during major updates or events.
