Enlisted

The Legend of Heroes: Akatsuki no Kiseki is a spin-off/browser/mobile RPG based on the Trails series. Released in 2016, it has a niche but dedicated following, mostly in Japan and Asia. Its player base has declined significantly since launch, but ongoing updates and the strength of the Trails fanbase likely keep a small but stable community active, mainly on PC and mobile. The game is not widely played outside its core regions and is well past its peak activity.

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.
