Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Hero Plus (previously known as Hero Online) is a classic free-to-play MMORPG by MGAME, originally launched much earlier and re-released in the West in 2018. As an older, niche title with a small publisher and minimal current social presence, it's likely maintained by a dedicated but very small player base. Its persistent world and structure qualifies it as an MMO, but its global reach and userbase have declined significantly over the years.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.
