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

The mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, inspired by the popular webtoon, has achieved an impressive milestone by reaching over 60 million users. This remarkable feat, accomplished in just over 10 months, underscores the game's success and its appeal to both fans of the original anime and manhwa, as well as new audiences exploring the franchise for the first time.

To celebrate this significant achievement, Netmarble is offering players a chance to claim free Essence Stones. By logging in until March 28th, users can receive 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000. If you miss the initial window, don't fret—there will be further opportunities to earn the full 10,000 Essence Stones until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.

Growing in Power
While Solo Leveling: Arise may not have the largest set of milestones, its rapid surge in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the context of the current mobile gaming market. For instance, Star Wars: Hunters, backed by one of the most iconic film franchises and developed by Zynga for their first PC venture, is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This contrast raises intriguing questions about the relative popularity of manhwa and anime versus traditional film franchises, and whether even niche products can quickly gain a substantial following.
