Viking Rise

MechWarrior Online, released in 2013, is a tactical mech combat game by Piranha Games. It had strong IP recognition at launch but the player base has declined over the years due to niche appeal and sparse major updates. As a persistent online PvP title, it maintains a small but dedicated fan base. Estimated current daily players are roughly 1,000–2,000 based on industry knowledge and its age.

Viking Rise is a mobile/PC strategy RPG by IGG (known for Lords Mobile). Launched in early 2023, it's a relatively recent entry in the competitive mobile strategy genre. IGG games typically maintain solid daily active player counts due to global marketing and engagement strategies, though not on the scale of top-tier titles. Around 100,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate given the publisher's track record and genre trends.
