New World: Aeternum

"Ghost Story: Love Destiny" is a fantasy RPG released in March 2024. It's published by NetEase Games, a major company with a strong mobile and social gaming presence in Asia, and developed by VNG Corporation. Given its new release, mobile availability (Android, iOS, Windows), and publisher reach, a moderate launch playerbase is likely. It may have regional popularity but is not a global mainstream hit. The presence of RPG and drama/romance tags suggests a story-driven, possibly online multiplayer title, but not enough evidence of large-scale persistent MMO features, so MMO status is not confirmed.

New World, now known as New World: Aeternum, was released in 2021 by Amazon Game Studios and quickly attracted a large launch audience, but experienced a significant decline after its first year due to content and technical issues. However, ongoing updates, expansions, and a recent console launch (with PlayStation 5 support) have provided periodic population boosts. As of mid-2024, it maintains a modest but stable daily population for a modern MMORPG, typically ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 daily players across platforms.
