Hero Wars Surpasses 150 Million Lifetime Installs, Maintaining Top-Grossing Status

Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, has achieved a remarkable milestone: 150 million lifetime installs. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the game's longevity (released in 2017) and the intense competition within the mobile gaming market. The title, known for its distinctive (and sometimes unusual) YouTube advertising, has also seen a surge in revenue.

Following the knight Galahad's quest to overthrow the Archdemon, Hero Wars has consistently performed well in app store charts. While we primarily focus on newer releases, the game's continued success is undeniable, showcasing enduring player engagement.

From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success

Hero Wars' unconventional advertising, while attention-grabbing, might deter some potential players. Therefore, the recent surge in installs likely stems, in part, from its significant collaboration with Tomb Raider. The partnership lent an air of credibility, potentially encouraging hesitant gamers to try the game. This strategic collaboration clearly contributed to the impressive milestone.

Future collaborations are a strong possibility, given the success of this initiative.
