The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Luna Online: Reborn is a relaunch of the classic Luna Online MMORPG, initially popular in the late 2000s. While the 2017 release revived some interest among nostalgic fans, the game's age, modest indie presence, and lack of major publisher support likely resulted in a very small but dedicated player base. The genre and persistent world structure confirm it as an MMO, but activity is low compared to current mainstream titles.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
