Tiger Knight: Empire War

VS

Outriders

Tiger Knight: Empire War was released in 2016 and is a niche action/strategy game with historical warfare elements. The game peaked shortly after launch but has seen a significant decline in player base over time, especially with limited Western presence and competition from titles like Mount & Blade. Oasis Games is not a major long-term publisher in the West, and there haven’t been notable relaunches or expansions to boost activity. It is likely to have a very small but persistent community, mostly in Asia, with estimates around 200 daily active players.

Outriders is a co-op looter-shooter released in 2021 by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. While it had a strong launch, concurrent player numbers have declined significantly since release. The game is not an MMO, as it centers around instanced co-op play (groups of up to three), not a persistent open world with massive players. Based on trends typical for similar games 2-3 years post-launch, estimated daily active players are in the low thousands across all platforms.
