The popular game *Solo Leveling: Arise*, inspired by the renowned webtoon, has reached an impressive milestone by attracting over 60 million users in just over 10 months. This surge in popularity is a testament to the game's appeal, drawing in both dedicated fans of the original anime and manhwa, as well as newcomers eager to explore the franchise.
To celebrate this monumental achievement, Netmarble is rewarding players with a special log-in event. By logging in until March 28th, players can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 Essence Stones. But don't fret if you miss the initial window—there will be additional opportunities to earn this 10,000 Essence Stone reward until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
**Growing in Power**
While *Solo Leveling: Arise* may not boast the largest set of milestones yet, its rapid growth in the mobile gaming market is noteworthy, especially when compared to other releases based on traditionally popular franchises. For instance, *Star Wars: Hunters*, developed by Zynga and backed by the iconic film series, is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This contrast raises questions about the current trends in gaming popularity—do anime and manhwa have a stronger pull than conventional films? Can even niche products experience rapid growth?
Only time will tell how these trends evolve. In the meantime, if you're on the hunt for more gaming options, be sure to check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
