Dual Universe

Heat and Run is an indie MOBA/platform shooter hybrid released in late 2022. As an indie title without major publisher backing, it likely never reached high player counts and has probably declined since launch. MOBAs from small developers often struggle to find large, sustained audiences. Based on its age, indie status, lack of major promotional impact, and typical genre trends, a small but dedicated community is likely, with daily players estimated in the low hundreds.

Dual Universe, released in 2020 by Novaquark, is a science fiction sandbox MMO focused on a persistent, single-shard universe. Despite original hype for its player-driven world and voxel building, the game has struggled post-release with population retention due to technical obstacles and lack of mainstream adoption. As a niche MMO with modest backing and limited expansions, current daily active players are likely in the low hundreds.
