Pikmin Bloom

VS

World of Warcraft Classic

Pikmin Bloom is a mobile adventure and augmented reality game developed by Niantic Labs and published by Nintendo, released in 2021. While it launched with modest traction due to the recognizable Pikmin brand and Niantic's mobile expertise, its player base has been a fraction of Niantic’s previous hit, Pokémon GO. By 2024, the game maintains a smaller, loyal daily active user base, likely between 80,000 and 120,000—a reasonable outcome for a walking-based AR game with moderate content cadence.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
