Nin Online

Last Epoch

Nin Online is a persistent online RPG inspired by Naruto, known within niche anime and indie MMO communities. While never achieving mainstream status, its community-driven approach and unique setting have helped it maintain a modest but steady player base. Given its indie nature and lack of major publisher support, the player count is estimated to be in the low hundreds daily.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
