Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Starbase is a space-themed open-world sandbox developed by Frozenbyte, released in 2021. While it launched with interest due to its ambitious MMO-style features and full-destructibility, its active player base has declined steeply due to slow development progression and reduced communication. As a niche indie title, its daily players likely number in the low hundreds as of 2024.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.
