The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Wolf Tales: Online RPG Sim is a mobile RPG/simulation game released in 2021 by Foxie Ventures. While not a AAA release, it is a niche animal simulation game that tends to have a stable, modest user base due to the popularity of animal RPGs among younger mobile audiences. Given mobile's broader reach and the game's persistent community, a conservative estimate is around 20,000 daily active players.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
