Hero Wars Surpasses 150 Million Lifetime Installs, Maintaining Top-Grossing Status

Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, has achieved a remarkable milestone: 150 million lifetime installs. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the game's longevity (released in 2017) 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.

Following the knight Galahad's quest to overthrow the Archdemon, Hero Wars has consistently performed well in app store charts. While we primarily focus on newer releases, the game's sustained popularity is undeniable. The enduring appeal of Galahad's adventures suggests several contributing factors.

From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success

Hero Wars' unconventional advertising, while attention-grabbing, might deter some potential players. Therefore, its recent collaboration with Tomb Raider likely played a significant role in boosting installs. The association with a well-established franchise like Tomb Raider likely provided a level of credibility, encouraging hesitant gamers to try the game. This strategic partnership appears to have been highly successful.

Future collaborations seem highly probable, given the positive impact of the Tomb Raider crossover.
