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

The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the acclaimed webtoon, has reached an impressive milestone by amassing over 60 million users. This significant achievement, accomplished in just over 10 months, showcases the game's widespread appeal, attracting both fans of the original anime and manhwa as well as newcomers to the franchise.

To celebrate this monumental milestone, Netmarble is offering players a special reward. By logging in until March 28th, users can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. Don't fret if you miss this initial window, as you'll have additional opportunities to earn the full 10,000 Essence Stones reward until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.

Growing in Power
While not the largest milestone we've seen, Solo Leveling: Arise's rapid rise in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming market where even titles 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 facing closure less than a year after its launch. This contrast raises questions about the relative popularity of manhwa and anime versus conventional films, and whether niche products can achieve quick growth.
