Odin: Valhalla Rising

Ilysia is a VR-focused MMORPG that launched in late 2023 by indie studio Team 21. As a niche title in the VR MMO space, its player retention is modest but active, likely engaging hundreds of daily players. The scale and indie market position suggest an estimated 500–1000 daily active players, biasing conservatively toward the lower end due to genre constraints and limited platform reach. It meets MMORPG criteria thanks to its persistent world and focus on large-scale player interactions in VR.

Odin: Valhalla Rising is a mobile and PC MMORPG developed by Lionheart Studio and published by Kakao Games. It launched in 2021 and initially attracted significant attention in Korea and parts of Asia. As an MMORPG with cross-platform play, it benefits from the strong MMO market in those regions, but daily active players are likely lower outside of Asia. Given the game's age and the typical lifecycle for mobile MMORPGs, combined with Kakao's publishing power, a daily player count in the 60,000–70,000 range is plausible, with retention primarily in Korea and Taiwan.
