New Games on the Rise: April’25
NEW GAMES ON THE RISE
# 3 WEEK, APRIL, 2025
Hi, mobile gaming fanatics! 🤩 📲
I am returning this week with our helpful list of “New Games on the rise”.
Here I bring you titles debuting at the top of the charts. 📈
👇 Below are my highlights from last week. 👇
➡️ Following the launch of “Candy Crush Solitaire” (CCS) by King, another big game company has started growing a Solitaire Tripeaks title with IP ♠️♦️ . “Disney Solitaire” (DS) by SuperPlay brings game art and gameplay close to CCS, but with a powerful non-endemic IP. And the performance has been fantastic! ✨ Within a few weeks of scaling, DS reached a peak of $180k in IAP revenue per day. 🤑 For comparison’s sake, the genre leader, Playtika’s “Solitaire Grand Harvest”, took months to achieve this performance.
On April 19, it appeared in the 🔝 500 for mobile game revenue (rank 322); on April 22, it appeared in the 🔝 50 downloads in mobile games for the first time (rank 47). 🏅
➡️ Released on April 13, “SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL” by Bandai Namco Mobile is on fire! 🔥 The new tactical RPG from the Japanese gaming giant 🇯🇵 reveals the power of the RPG market with anime IP, especially in Asian countries.
On April 18, it appeared in the 🔝 10 for mobile game revenue (rank 7); on April 14, it appeared in the 🔝 200 downloads in mobile games for the first time (rank 154). 🏅
➡️ Netflix Games innovates!💡Developed by Night School: A Netflix Game Studio [TAG], “Black Mirror: Thronglets” is a retro virtual pet simulation at the center of the Season 7 episode “Plaything” of the Black Mirror series. 📺 The crossover between the series and the game was so successful that they put a QR code at the episode’s end credits, and if you scan it, you’ll be taken to the stores and can download the game. 🤳 Safe? I don’t know… 🤣
On April 16, it appeared in the 🔝 500 downloads in mobile games for the first time (rank 491). 🏅
➡️ The big publisher SayGames has started growing its hybrid casual “Chainsaw Juice King” 🪚 🍊. With a gameplay style inspired by the hit “Eatventure”, “Chainsaw” has been performing very well.
On April 16, it appeared in the 🔝 200 downloads in mobile games for the first time (rank 160). 🏅
