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

The mobile gaming sensation, *Solo Leveling: Arise*, developed by Netmarble and inspired by the renowned webtoon, has achieved a remarkable milestone by reaching 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 newcomers to the franchise.

To celebrate this significant achievement, Netmarble is rewarding players with a special log-in event. By simply logging in until March 28th, players can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. And don't fret if you miss the initial window; further opportunities to earn this 10k reward will be available until May 8th, coinciding with the release anniversary of *Solo Leveling: Arise*.

Growing in Power
While *Solo Leveling: Arise* might not boast the largest milestone in mobile gaming history, its rapid surge in popularity is noteworthy. This is particularly striking when compared to other releases based on traditionally popular franchises that have struggled in the current mobile gaming landscape. Consider *Star Wars: Hunters*, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the most iconic film series, which is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This raises intriguing questions about the relative popularity of manhwa and anime versus conventional films, and whether a seemingly niche product can quickly gain a massive following.

Only time will tell how these trends will develop in the long run. In the meantime, if you're eager to explore more gaming options, check out our latest roundup of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
