Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Synced is a futuristic third-person shooter with PvE and PvP elements, released in late 2023 by NExT Studios and published by Level Infinite. Despite a notable launch and strong publisher backing, its genre and recent player trend reports indicate significant drop-off post-launch. As a session-based action shooter—not a persistent world MMO—even with co-op and squad features, it lacks the scale and persistence to be considered a true MMO.

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.
