Tower of Fantasy

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.

Tower of Fantasy is a cross-platform open-world RPG released in late 2021 and published by Level Infinite (a Tencent brand), with significant investments in global marketing. Initially popular as a "Genshin Impact competitor," its player base peaked in its first year, but has since declined. It remains moderately active thanks to regular updates and events, especially in Asian markets. Given its age (over 2 years) and the usual drop-off for live-service MMOs, a conservative estimate is in the 50,000–100,000 DAP range globally.
