Enlisted

Hero of Aethric: An Orna RPG is developed by Northern Forge Studios, the makers of Orna, which is a niche mobile location-based RPG. This game is an indie title with a small developer and targets a limited, but loyal, community, primarily on iOS and Android. Orna has never reached massive scale, and spin-offs or related projects like Hero of Aethric generally have a few thousand daily active players. There is no evidence or industry reporting suggesting large-scale growth beyond a niche RPG audience.

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.
