Tamashi: Rise of Yokai

VS

World of Warcraft Classic

Tamashi: Rise of Yokai is a 2022 mobile MMORPG from Eyougame, known for anime-inspired MMO titles targeting Asian and international markets. These games often see tens of thousands of daily players in their first year, but typically experience a decline as the user base stabilizes. Given its age (~2 years), genre, and smaller publisher, a conservative estimate is ~15,000 daily players. It qualifies as an MMO due to persistent online worlds and large-scale multiplayer features typical for Eyougame mobile MMOs.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
