Goblin Slayer: Endless Hunting

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.

Goblin Slayer: Endless Hunting is a web browser RPG/strategy game based on the Goblin Slayer anime IP. Released in late 2022 on the G123 platform, its player retention is likely modest, as with most licensed, idle-style browser games. G123 games usually have a niche but dedicated audience; after over a year, daily players likely number in the low thousands.
