Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War

Last Epoch

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War is a mobile strategy RPG that launched in 2017, published by Joycity and Disney Games. While it attracted attention at launch thanks to the brand, mobile strategy games typically see declining player bases over the years unless there's ongoing major content support. This title still receives minor updates but doesn't trend highly in current mobile charts, suggesting a modest, stable but reduced active player base typical of similar long-running licensed mobile games.

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.
