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

Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, surpasses 150 million lifetime installs, achieving a new all-time high. This success is particularly noteworthy given the game's 2017 launch and the intense competition in the mobile gaming market. Hero Wars, known for its unique (some might say bizarre) YouTube ads, also boasts record-breaking revenue.

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

From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success

Hero Wars' unconventional advertising, while attention-grabbing, may have alienated some potential players. However, the recent collaboration with Tomb Raider likely played a significant role in boosting installs. The partnership lent credibility, encouraging hesitant gamers to try the game. This strategic move clearly contributed to the impressive milestone. Future collaborations seem highly probable.
