Valhall

Last Epoch

Valhall is a Viking-themed action RPG developed by Blackrose Arts, released in 2020. It generated some initial interest due to its premise, but as a niche indie title with limited publisher reputation and delayed development cycles, it has seen significant player dropoff. Its online modes have attracted small, sporadic communities, but it has not attained or maintained large-scale popularity. Current daily active players are likely very low, reflecting the game's age and lack of major updates.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
