Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls - Starlight Stage is a popular Japanese rhythm/gacha mobile game from Bandai Namco and Cygames, originally released in 2015. While past its peak, it remains active thanks to strong franchise loyalty, frequent updates, and ongoing events. However, age and competition from newer idol games have led to a moderate but steady daily player base, focused mainly in Japan.

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.
