Nobunaga's Ambition Online: Chapter of Heaven

VS

Scum

Nobunaga's Ambition Online is a long-running Japanese MMORPG, launched in the early 2000s and periodically updated with new chapters. Its player base is niche and primarily Japanese, with a stable but small community. While not popular globally, its longevity and support by Koei Tecmo help retain several hundred to a few thousand daily players.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
