Odin: Valhalla Rising

Throne and Liberty is a high-profile MMORPG released in December 2023 by NCsoft (a well-known MMO developer) and Amazon Games. Despite substantial pre-launch hype, launch interest was somewhat tempered by mixed reviews and typical new MMO volatility. However, as a new AAA MMO with cross-platform play and heavy marketing, it currently retains a sizable daily playerbase, likely around 120,000–180,000 DAP, so a conservative estimate is 150,000. Player engagement will likely diminish over the next year without substantial content updates.

Odin: Valhalla Rising is a mobile and PC MMORPG developed by Lionheart Studio and published by Kakao Games. It launched in 2021 and initially attracted significant attention in Korea and parts of Asia. As an MMORPG with cross-platform play, it benefits from the strong MMO market in those regions, but daily active players are likely lower outside of Asia. Given the game's age and the typical lifecycle for mobile MMORPGs, combined with Kakao's publishing power, a daily player count in the 60,000–70,000 range is plausible, with retention primarily in Korea and Taiwan.
