Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming

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.

Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming is a browser-based MMO strategy game released in 2019 by Yoozoo Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive. It capitalized on the Game of Thrones brand but, as a licensed title in a declining genre, its player base has diminished since its release. The game still retains a small but steady international audience due to ongoing live events and monetization, but most browser MMORTS titles drop below 20,000 daily players after 5 years.
