Solo Leveling: Arise, the hit mobile game based on the popular webtoon, has reached a phenomenal milestone: 60 million users! To celebrate this incredible achievement, Netmarble is giving away free Essence Stones.
Log in daily until March 28th to receive 1,000 Essence Stones each day, accumulating a total of 10,000. Even if you miss the initial deadline, don't worry! You'll have additional opportunities to claim your 10,000 Essence Stones until May 8th, the game's anniversary.
Solo Leveling: Arise's rapid growth to over 60 million players in just over 10 months is a significant success, especially considering the current mobile gaming market's challenges. Many players are likely fans of the original anime and manhwa, but the game has clearly attracted a large number of new fans to the franchise.

This success stands in contrast to some recent high-profile releases. For example, *Star Wars: Hunters*, despite its association with a hugely popular film franchise, is shutting down less than a year after launch. This raises interesting questions about the current landscape of mobile gaming and the potential of anime and manhwa adaptations. Does this indicate the greater popularity of manhwa and anime compared to conventional film franchises? Or does it simply highlight the potential for rapid growth even within niche markets?
Only time will tell the long-term impact. In the meantime, check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week!
