Last Epoch

Xenimus is a long-running indie MMORPG released in the early 2000s. It has a niche, loyal community but never had mainstream popularity. Given its age and lack of recent publisher/developer social presence, it likely maintains a very small daily active player base, mostly dedicated fans.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
