Last Epoch

Infantry Online is a classic multiplayer top-down shooter first released in the late 1990s. Its official servers were closed by Sony in the early 2010s, but a fan-operated revival runs at freeinfantry.com. Given its age, niche appeal, and small but dedicated community, the daily player base is very low—likely several dozen to a few hundred at most, mostly nostalgia-driven veterans.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
