Solo Leveling: Arise Hits 60M Users, Unveils New Events

The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the beloved webtoon, has achieved a remarkable milestone by reaching over 60 million users. This impressive feat has been accomplished in just over 10 months, attracting not only fans of the original anime and manhwa but also new audiences eager to explore the franchise.

To celebrate this significant achievement, Netmarble is offering a special log-in event where players can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to 10,000 stones. This event runs until March 28th, but don't fret if you miss the initial window; additional opportunities to earn the full 10,000 Essence Stones will be available until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.

Growing in Power
While not the largest milestone in gaming history, the rapid rise in popularity of Solo Leveling: Arise is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming landscape. For instance, consider Star Wars: Hunters, a game backed by the iconic film franchise and developed by Zynga for their first PC venture. Despite its promising start, it's slated to close down within less than a year. This contrast raises intriguing questions about the comparative appeal of manhwa and anime versus traditional film franchises in the gaming world. Is there a shift in popularity, or can a niche product gain traction swiftly?

Only time will tell how these trends develop. In the meantime, if you're on the hunt for more gaming options, be sure to check out our latest roundup of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
