Verdun

VS

Enlisted: Reinforced

Verdun is a niche WW1 multiplayer shooter released in 2015. While it has a dedicated community and benefits from the historical warfare niche, its player base is limited by its age, indie roots, and smaller-scale matches (not a mass-market shooter). Player numbers are likely modest but stable, estimated around 2,000 daily active players across all platforms.

Enlisted: Reinforced is a relaunch/major update to 'Enlisted,' a squad-based WW2 shooter by Darkflow Software, historically published by Gaijin Entertainment. The core game has maintained a modest but dedicated playerbase, buoyed by frequent updates and free-to-play access. The 'Reinforced' update/launch (mid-2024) likely gives a boost, especially in its initial weeks, but third-party stats and genre trends suggest daily active players around 40,000–50,000, down from its peak surges. Not a traditional MMO (lobby-based large matches rather than persistent world).
