The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the popular webtoon, has reached a significant milestone, amassing over 60 million users in just over 10 months. This impressive growth is a testament to the game's appeal, attracting both fans of the original anime and manhwa, as well as new players exploring the franchise for the first time.
To celebrate this achievement, Netmarble is offering a generous reward to players. By simply logging into the game until March 28th, users can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. Don't worry if you miss the initial window; additional opportunities to earn the 10,000 Essence Stones reward are available until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
Growing in Power
While not the largest milestone in mobile gaming history, Solo Leveling: Arise's rapid rise in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming market where even games based on traditionally popular franchises have struggled. Consider Star Wars: Hunters, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the biggest film series of all time. Despite its promising start, it is set to close down less than a year later. This raises questions about the comparative appeal of manhwa and anime versus conventional films, and whether niche products can experience rapid growth in today's gaming landscape.
