Hero Wars shoots to 150 million installs following successful Tomb Raider collab

Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, surpasses 150 million lifetime installs, marking a significant new milestone. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the game's 2017 release date and the intense competition within the mobile gaming market. Hero Wars, known for its unique (some might say unusual) YouTube advertising, has also seen a surge in revenue.

The game, following knight Galahad's quest to defeat the Archdemon, maintains a strong presence in various app store charts. While we haven't extensively reviewed Hero Wars' gameplay, its continued popularity suggests a dedicated player base.

A Successful Collaboration

Hero Wars' unconventional advertising, while potentially polarizing, may have contributed to its success. However, its recent collaboration with Tomb Raider likely played a crucial role in boosting downloads. The partnership lent the game a degree of credibility, possibly persuading hesitant players to try it. This strategic move clearly paid off, significantly contributing to the 150 million install milestone. Future collaborations could further enhance the game's growth.
