You can't compare New World and Zenith in terms of playerbase because New World's success was entirely artificial. If you had a twitch prime sub, you were given a New World subscription and a free download to try it out. The game had huge freebie subscription tiers you could get by just going to a website and clicking abutton, and because of that; everyone tried it at least once. After all of that ended, the game came crashing down because nobody was going to seriously pay for it.

Zenith is different, if you want to be part of Zenith, you have to pay for it. As far as I know it has no free services to let you play it for free for even a short amount of time. You like it, you pay for it, and that settles it. So the playerbase playing it right now is more likely to stay around than millions of freebie players who clicked ads on twitch and that's how they got there.
