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

The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, based on the popular webtoon, has reached an impressive new milestone with over 60 million users. This significant achievement comes just over 10 months since its launch, showcasing the game's rapid rise in popularity. It's clear that not only fans of the original anime and manhwa are drawn to the game, but also a fresh audience discovering the franchise for the first time.

To celebrate this milestone, Netmarble is offering a fantastic reward for players. By logging in until March 28th, users can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. But don't worry if you miss the initial window; you'll have additional opportunities to earn this 10,000 Essence Stone reward until May 8th, coinciding with the release anniversary of Solo Leveling: Arise.

Growing in Power
While Solo Leveling: Arise might not claim the title of the most monumental milestone in gaming history, its surge in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming landscape. Other releases based on traditionally popular franchises have faced challenges. Consider Star Wars: Hunters, for instance, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the most iconic film series. Yet, less than a year after its launch, it's set to close down. This raises questions about whether anime and manhwa might hold more sway over audiences than even the most established film franchises, and if niche products can experience rapid growth.

As we observe the long-term trajectory of Solo Leveling: Arise, the future remains to be seen. In the meantime, if you're on the hunt for more games to play, check out our latest roundup of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
