The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the beloved webtoon, has achieved a significant milestone with over 60 million users. This impressive feat comes just over 10 months since its launch, attracting not only fans of the original anime and manhwa but also newcomers to the franchise.
To celebrate this achievement, Netmarble is offering players a chance to log in and claim free Essence Stones. By logging in until March 28th, players can receive 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to 10,000 stones. If you miss this initial window, don't worry—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, Solo Leveling: Arise's rapid rise in popularity is noteworthy, especially in today's mobile gaming market where even games based on traditionally popular franchises struggle. Consider Star Wars: Hunters, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the most iconic film series, yet it's facing closure less than a year after its launch. This raises interesting questions about the current gaming landscape: Are anime and manhwa surpassing conventional films in popularity? Can niche products gain massive followings quickly?
Only time will tell how these trends develop. In the meantime, if you're eager to explore more mobile gaming options, check out our latest roundup of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
