2025 is really exciting for RPG games, especially in April, we welcomed two RPG games: "The Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake" and "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33".Although "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" is a 2A-level work from the new studio, it can compete head-on with "The Elder Scrolls 4".

The two games are only two days apart, and nearly a month has passed. The average number of players on "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" on Steam has exceeded the "Elderial Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake".

Over the past week, the average number of players in Expedition No. 33 has been around 107,000, while the Annihilation Remake has been around 65,000.However, the peak number of players in "Annihilation Remake" is higher, reaching 216,000, compared to 145,000 in "Expedition No. 33".

Considering that "The Elder Scrolls" is a RPG with huge content, it has a longer pass and the number of players should have the advantage, but this turn-based JRPG takes the lead.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the poor optimization of "The Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake".According to foreign media Digital Foundry, "The Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake" has a strange phenomenon that the longer the game is, the worse the performance. According to users' reactions, this "bug" has been found in the original game, but the remake has not been fixed.

"Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" has a user rating of 9.7 on Metacritic, making it the highest-rated game this year.The movie was signed only a few days after the game was released.
