Hero Wars Surges to 150 Million Downloads with Tomb Raider Collaboration

Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, surpasses 150 million lifetime installs, marking a significant milestone. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the game's age (released in 2017) and the intense competition within the mobile gaming market. The title, which follows knight Galahad's quest to defeat the Archdemon, has consistently performed well in various app store charts and remains a top-grossing game for Nexters.

While its overall quality isn't directly assessed here, the sustained popularity clearly indicates a dedicated player base. Several factors likely contributed to this latest success. The game's unique, sometimes unconventional, advertising campaigns, while potentially polarizing, have undeniably generated significant awareness.

However, a key driver of this recent milestone may be Hero Wars' first major collaboration—an unexpected partnership with the iconic Tomb Raider franchise. This collaboration likely lent credibility and attracted players who might have previously hesitated. The success of this crossover suggests future collaborations are a strong possibility.
