"Solo Leveling: Arise Hits 60M Users, Launches Milestone Events"

Netmarble's Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the popular webtoon, has reached a remarkable milestone with over 60 million users in just over 10 months. This incredible growth showcases the game's appeal not only to fans of the original anime and manhwa but also to newcomers discovering the franchise.

To celebrate this achievement, Netmarble is offering players a fantastic opportunity to earn free Essence Stones. By logging in until March 28th, players can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to 10,000 stones. If you miss the initial window, don't fret—there will be additional chances to secure the 10,000 Essence Stones reward until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.

Growing in Power

While Solo Leveling: Arise may not boast the largest milestones in gaming history, its rapid rise in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming market where even titles based on traditionally popular franchises struggle. For instance, Star Wars: Hunters, developed by Zynga and supported by one of the most iconic film series, is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This contrast raises questions about the shifting dynamics of entertainment popularity, suggesting that anime and manhwa might hold more sway than conventional films, and even niche products can achieve significant growth.

As we observe these trends, the long-term impact remains to be seen. In the meantime, if you're eager to explore more gaming options, check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
