The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

One Piece: Fighting Path is a mobile action RPG based on the popular One Piece anime, published by Nuverse and primarily popular in China and some Asian markets. Released in 2021, it saw a strong initial playerbase due to the IP's popularity. As a mobile gacha-style RPG with ongoing content, it's likely to retain a significant daily active population (estimated 200k–300k in active regions, as of 2024). Its scale does not fully meet MMO definitions—it is multiplayer but lacks a continuous, shared persistent world with thousands of simultaneous live interactions typical of MMOs.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
