The popular game *Solo Leveling: Arise*, inspired by the renowned webtoon, has achieved a significant milestone by reaching over 60 million users. This impressive feat was accomplished in just over 10 months, attracting both fans of the original anime and manhwa, as well as newcomers to the franchise.
To celebrate this achievement, Netmarble is offering players a chance to log in and receive free Essence Stones. By logging in until March 28th, users can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to a total of 10,000 stones. If you miss this initial window, don't worry—there will be 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 *Solo Leveling: Arise* may not boast the largest set of milestones, its rapid surge in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming market where even games based on traditionally popular franchises are struggling. For instance, *Star Wars: Hunters*, developed by Zynga and backed by one of the most iconic film series, is set to close down less than a year after its launch. This raises questions about the relative popularity of manhwa and anime compared to conventional films, and whether niche products can achieve rapid growth.
Only time will tell how these trends will evolve. In the meantime, if you're looking for other games to explore, check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
