The hugely popular game Solo Leveling: Arise, based on the hit webtoon, has reached an impressive new milestone with over 60 million users. This remarkable achievement comes just over 10 months since its launch, drawing in not only fans of the original anime and manhwa but also a significant number of new players discovering the franchise for the first time. To celebrate this monumental milestone, Netmarble is offering players a chance to claim free Essence Stones by simply logging in.
From now until March 28th, players who log in daily can receive 1,000 Essence Stones each day, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. If you miss out on the initial event, don't fret—there will be further opportunities to earn this reward until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
The rapid growth in popularity of Solo Leveling: Arise is particularly noteworthy, especially when compared to other releases based on conventionally popular franchises. For instance, Star Wars: Hunters, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the biggest film series, is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This raises interesting questions about the current mobile gaming market—does the appeal of manhwa and anime surpass that of traditional films? Can even niche products achieve rapid growth?
While we await long-term insights into these trends, if you're looking for other games to enjoy, why not check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
