The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Eve of Destruction: Redux is a niche Vietnam War-themed multiplayer mod and standalone game derived from the Battlefield series. Released in 2016 and not published by a major studio, it caters primarily to a small, dedicated community. After many years on the market with no mainstream exposure or major updates, its daily active player count is very low, likely in the low hundreds or below. Its genre tags and origins indicate it's not an MMO.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
