This Week's Standout Titles
Dragon Ball Legends rose 21 positions to #43, powered by the '8th Anniversary Countdown Campaign' offering up to 1000 Chrono Crystals for PvP and a teaser livestream for new characters. Event-limited character teased.
Merchant Wanderlust climbed 12 spots to #70 during its '1.5 Year Anniversary Festival' with 100 free pulls on login and a 30-person lottery. A Re:Zero collaboration adds limited content.
Tower of Saviors jumped from #48 to #35 after launching the limited black card 'Genghis Khan' and a free black card ticket event, alongside version 12.3 'Creed of the Envoys' update.
Data Movement Analysis
Egg Party rose from #83 to #64 via May welfare events offering 42 Shining Coins and free exclusive skins, plus an April 23 version update — a slow burn, not a spike.
Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross (KR) jumped 15 ranks on a Re:Zero collab rerun with 600-mileage guarantee and a current 154 free draws campaign.
Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross (JP) hit #28 with +99% revenue surge via '7th Anniversary Legend Fest Perfect 7' — daily up-to-100-free pulls and a Solo Leveling collab announced for late June.
JP market: slight -3.1% revenue dip week-over-week, Strategy leads at 25.4% share — stable but not exciting.
KR market: +12% revenue week-over-week, Strategy genre commands over half the growth — clear driver.
What to Watch Next Week
アズールレーン at #17 may see a boost from its ongoing event or potential anniversary prep — watch for new ship reveals.
Brawl Stars at #18 could rise further if its current season or brawl pass incentives sustain engagement in KR.
神魔之塔 at #18 on iOS may hold or climb as the new black card 'Genghis Khan' and free ticket event continue to drive logins.
ドラゴンクエストタクト ドラクエのタクティクスRPG at #19 might see movement from a limited-time banner or story update.
Merge Cooking® at #20 in KR could stabilize or dip as its casual audience cycles post-event.
Editor's Note
Next week: watch if Dragon Ball Legends' 8th anniversary livestream converts to a rank spike, and whether the JP market's strategy-led stability breaks with Solo Leveling collab hype.
