The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the popular webtoon, has reached a significant milestone with over 60 million users. This impressive achievement, accomplished in just over 10 months, showcases the game's appeal to both fans of the original anime and manhwa, as well as newcomers to the franchise.
To celebrate this milestone, Netmarble is offering players a chance to log in and receive free Essence Stones. By logging in daily until March 28th, players can earn 1,000 Essence Stones each day, accumulating up to a total of 10,000. If you miss the initial event, don't worry—there will be additional opportunities to claim this reward until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
The rapid growth of Solo Leveling: Arise is particularly noteworthy in the current mobile gaming landscape, where even games based on traditionally popular franchises have struggled. For instance, Star Wars: Hunters, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the most iconic film series, is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This raises questions about the relative popularity of anime and manhwa compared to conventional films, and whether niche products can achieve rapid growth in today's market.
