Onmyoji

Minecraft China is a localized, free-to-play version of Minecraft published by NetEase since 2017 with support from major publishers and regular content updates. It caters to a massive Chinese player base, widely reported to have tens of millions of total users, with conservative DAP estimates around several hundred thousand to over a million. Its open-world/sandbox model encourages ongoing engagement, especially in China, where it is a top online game. However, it is not a traditional MMO as it lacks a single persistent world with thousands of simultaneous players in one space.

Onmyoji is a turn-based strategy RPG developed by NetEase Games, launched globally in 2018. Although it was very popular during its first couple of years, its player base has declined but remained stable due to ongoing updates, events, and NetEase's strong support in Asian markets. As a mobile-centric RPG with gacha elements, it retains some loyal daily players, especially in China and among global fans. However, it is not a traditional MMO as it lacks a persistent shared world with massive simultaneous player interactions, so it does not meet strict MMO criteria.
