As of now, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, which debuted on May 23, is drawing more viewers on Twitch than Oblivion Remastered. This fresh open-world FPP game has been warmly welcomed and is rapidly gaining popularity as one of the most exciting new games on Steam. The creators, Questline, describe Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon as a captivating journey into a grim fantasy world reminiscent of Arthurian tales.

In similar vein to the board game it’s named after, “The Fall of Avalon” shares its universe with “Tainted Grail: Conquest.” Despite their common origin, these games exhibit distinct differences. While “Conquest” fused deck-building roguelike mechanics and RPG elements, this new release deviates significantly, reinventing the gameplay as a “Scrollslike,” a term coined for games inspired by “Oblivion” or “Skyrim.

In a hint of its triumph, “The Fall of Avalon” has been drawing approximately 13,000 viewers on Twitch lately. On the other hand, viewership for “Oblivion Remastered” has fallen to about 4,000 in recent times. According to SullyGnome’s data, it appears that this new title is striking a chord with fans of dark fantasy RPGs. At the moment, it ranks among the top 30 most-watched games on Twitch and might attract even more attention following the surge of favorable critiques.

Bethesda’s remastered version of Oblivion saw remarkable success at launch, boasting over 200,000 concurrent players on Steam. However, the number of players on this platform has since stabilized at approximately 40,000. On the other hand, a new RPG inspired by Oblivion is currently attracting an average of around 25,000 daily players. If it maintains this momentum, The Fall of Avalon could potentially outdo Oblivion Remastered’s peak daily player count, which would be quite an accomplishment for a game still on the rise.

Ever since its debut, “The Fall of Avalon” has been likened to “Oblivion Remastered,” with some contending that its FPP RPG questlines surpass their predecessor in specific aspects. For instance, many find the combat more instinctive and the brewing mechanics simpler to understand. However, detractors claim that the game’s world isn’t as sprawling as “The Elder Scrolls.” Nevertheless, a majority of players deem “The Fall of Avalon” one of the top indie games for fans who appreciate Bethesda’s unique style.

Despite the fact that “The Fall of Avalon” appears to have potential, its player base is significantly smaller than that of Bethesda’s RPG. To provide some context, the remastered version of “Oblivion” has been played by more than four million people, whereas Questline’s dark fantasy game has reportedly sold approximately 200,000 copies, which is less than 5% of the audience for “Oblivion.” However, given that it comes from a smaller studio, the fact that “The Fall of Avalon” has garnered attention in areas like Twitch viewership is quite impressive and shouldn’t be underestimated.
