Odin: Valhalla Rising

Lineage II Classic is a reboot of the original Lineage II MMORPG, published by NCsoft. Though it launched in 2018 for nostalgia seekers and has a loyal hardcore following, its player base has declined significantly due to age and competition from modern MMORPGs. The game has a persistent world and supports large-scale interactions, meeting MMO criteria. Estimated daily players are modest but stable, reflecting its niche appeal and NCsoft's capability to retain a core audience.

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.
