Nin Online

Palworld

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.

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.
