The popular mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the acclaimed webtoon, has reached a significant milestone by amassing over 60 million users. This achievement comes just 10 months after its launch, highlighting the game's appeal not only to fans of the original anime and manhwa but also to newcomers discovering the franchise. This surge in popularity is a testament to the game's engaging content and the enduring appeal of the Solo Leveling universe.
To celebrate this milestone, Netmarble is offering players a chance to earn free rewards. By logging into the game until March 28th, players can receive 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. If you miss this initial window, don't fret; additional opportunities to claim this 10,000 Essence Stone reward will be available until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
Growing in Power
While Solo Leveling: Arise may not have the largest milestones in the industry, its rapid growth in a competitive mobile gaming market is noteworthy. This success is particularly striking when compared to other games based on well-known franchises. For instance, Star Wars: Hunters, developed by Zynga and backed by the iconic Star Wars franchise, is set to close down less than a year after its release. This contrast raises questions about the current dynamics of mobile gaming popularity, suggesting that niche products like manhwa and anime adaptations may have a stronger pull than traditionally popular films.
As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to observe the long-term trajectory of Solo Leveling: Arise. In the meantime, if you're looking for other mobile gaming options, check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
