Record of Lodoss War Online

Outriders

Record of Lodoss War Online is an MMORPG released in late 2016 by L&K Logic Korea. Though based on a well-known IP, the game has struggled to retain significant player numbers outside of its initial release, particularly in the West and even in Korea. The game shows signs of low population and minimal ongoing support, typical of older, niche MMOs from smaller publishers. Estimated daily active players are likely quite low—around 100, mostly diehard fans or those on private servers.

Outriders is a co-op looter-shooter released in 2021 by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. While it had a strong launch, concurrent player numbers have declined significantly since release. The game is not an MMO, as it centers around instanced co-op play (groups of up to three), not a persistent open world with massive players. Based on trends typical for similar games 2-3 years post-launch, estimated daily active players are in the low thousands across all platforms.
