World of Warcraft Classic

Veiled Experts is a competitive tactical shooter published by Nexon and released in May 2023. Despite some initial interest, the game did not achieve strong traction in the crowded tactical shooter market dominated by titles like Valorant and Counter-Strike. As of 2024, active player numbers have dropped significantly, with estimated daily active players in the low thousands or lower. Shooter games without a lasting esports scene or broad appeal tend to lose active players quickly after launch.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
