Nether: The Untold Chapter

VS

Palworld

Nether: The Untold Chapter is a re-release and update of the original 'Nether' survival game, released in 2019. As a relatively niche multiplayer survival game with no major publisher and a small, cult following, its player base has dwindled over time. The lack of recent major updates or significant marketing indicates the game has a very small but persistent player base.

Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.
