Monster Hunter Rise

Ragnarok X: Next Generation is a mobile MMORPG released in 2021, leveraging the long-standing Ragnarok IP. While its initial launch saw very strong numbers, the game has experienced typical post-launch decline, with a decrease in Western interest but a still-active presence in Southeast Asia. As a mobile MMO, engagement is bolstered by daily events, but three years past release, a daily player count around 35,000 is likely, mostly from its most dedicated regions. The persistent world, large player hubs, and widespread multiplayer events qualify it as a true MMO.

Monster Hunter Rise, released in 2021 by Capcom, is a popular action RPG in the Monster Hunter series. It still maintains a sizable player base due to ongoing support, expansions (like Sunbreak), and a strong community, especially in Asia. However, as it's now over two years old, daily active players have declined from launch peaks. It is not an MMO, as multiplayer sessions are instanced and do not feature a persistent world.
