Netmarble's *Solo Leveling: Arise*, inspired by the popular webtoon, has hit a significant milestone, celebrating over 60 million users. This achievement comes just over 10 months since its launch, attracting a vast audience, including both dedicated fans of the original anime and manhwa, and newcomers to the franchise.
To mark this occasion, Netmarble is rewarding players with free Essence Stones. By simply logging in until March 28th, users can claim 1,000 Essence Stones daily, accumulating up to 10,000 stones. Don't worry if you miss the initial window; further opportunities to earn this 10,000 Essence Stone reward will be available until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
**Growing in Power**
While *Solo Leveling: Arise* may not boast the largest milestones in gaming history, its rapid rise in popularity is noteworthy, especially in the current mobile gaming landscape. Consider the contrast with *Star Wars: Hunters*, developed by Zynga and leveraging one of the most iconic film franchises, yet facing closure less than a year after its debut. This raises questions about the relative appeal of manhwa and anime versus traditional cinema IPs, and whether niche products can indeed achieve swift and significant growth.
Only time will tell how *Solo Leveling: Arise* will fare in the long run. In the meantime, if you're eager to explore more mobile gaming options, check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
