Hero Wars Surpasses 150 Million Lifetime Installs, Continues Strong Performance

Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, has achieved a remarkable milestone: 150 million lifetime installs. This achievement is particularly impressive considering the game's 2017 launch and the intense competition within the mobile gaming market. The title, known for its distinctive (and sometimes unusual) YouTube advertising, has also seen significant revenue growth.

The game, following the knight Galahad's quest to defeat the Archdemon, has consistently performed well in app store charts. While we haven't extensively reviewed Hero Wars' gameplay, its sustained popularity clearly indicates a dedicated player base.

From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success

Hero Wars' unique, sometimes surreal advertising campaigns have certainly generated buzz, though they may not appeal to all players. However, a recent major collaboration with Tomb Raider is likely a significant factor contributing to this latest milestone. The association with a well-known and respected franchise like Tomb Raider likely attracted new players and encouraged those previously hesitant to try the game.

This successful collaboration suggests future partnerships are a strong possibility.
