Crystal of Atlan

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.

Crystal of Atlan is an anime-style action RPG launched in 2023 with support from Nuverse, a notable publisher. It has a multi-platform release (mobile, PC, and PS5) and some social buzz, but does not appear to have achieved breakout hit status in the West. Given recent release, ongoing updates, and its gacha/MMO-lite features, it's likely to retain a moderate but niche global playerbase. Estimated at around 60,000 daily active players based on similar genre trends and publisher reach.
