Netmarble's *Solo Leveling: Arise*, based on the acclaimed webtoon, has reached an impressive milestone of 60 million users within just over 10 months. This surge in popularity highlights the game's appeal, attracting not only fans of the original anime and manhwa but also newcomers to the franchise.
To celebrate this significant achievement, Netmarble is offering players a chance to log in and claim free Essence Stones. From now until March 28th, users can earn 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 additional opportunities to secure this reward until May 8th, coinciding with the game's release anniversary.
The rapid growth of *Solo Leveling: Arise* is particularly noteworthy in the current mobile gaming landscape, where even titles based on traditionally popular franchises struggle. For instance, *Star Wars: Hunters*, developed by Zynga and supported by the iconic film series, is facing closure less than a year after its launch. This contrast raises intriguing questions about the relative appeal of manhwa and anime versus conventional films, and the potential for niche products to achieve swift success.
While the long-term trajectory of *Solo Leveling: Arise* remains to be seen, its current success is undeniable. In the meantime, if you're eager to explore other mobile gaming options, be sure to check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
