Hero Wars, the Nexters-developed fantasy RPG, has achieved a remarkable milestone: 150 million lifetime installs. This success is even more impressive considering its age—the game launched in 2017—and the intense competition within the mobile gaming market. Its consistent performance in various charts and its status as a top-grossing game for Nexters further solidify its achievement.

Following the knight Galahad's quest to overthrow the Archdemon, Hero Wars has maintained a strong presence in the charts since its release. While we primarily focus on newer titles, the game's enduring popularity is undeniable. The continued engagement of players with Galahad's adventures warrants exploration into the factors contributing to this latest milestone.

From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success

Hero Wars' unconventional and sometimes surreal advertising campaigns have certainly generated discussion. However, we believe its recent collaboration with Tomb Raider played a significant role in this latest milestone. The association with a well-established and respected franchise like Tomb Raider likely attracted players who might have otherwise been hesitant, lending an air of legitimacy and encouraging them to try the game. This strategic partnership clearly paid off handsomely. Future collaborations seem highly probable given this success.
