Monster Hunter Rise

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.

Monster Hunter Rise is a major action RPG by Capcom, released in 2021 for Switch/PC. Its playerbase peaked in its first year, with strong support for about 2 years due to expansions and seasonal content. As of mid-2024, population has declined but remains active, likely with around 20,000-30,000 daily players across all platforms due to ongoing appeal, co-op gameplay, and Capcom's franchise reputation.
