Hero Wars hits 150M installs post Tomb Raider collaboration

Author : Chloe May 07,2025

Hero Wars, the fantasy RPG developed by Nexters, has achieved a significant milestone by reaching 150 million lifetime installs. This impressive feat comes more than half a decade after its initial release in 2017, and the game continues to perform strongly in various charts, maintaining its status as a top-grossing game for Nexters. The journey of the knight Galahad in his quest to dethrone the Archdemon has evidently resonated with a wide audience, despite facing fierce competition in the gaming market.

While we primarily focus on newer games, it's undeniable that Hero Wars retains a dedicated fanbase. The game's recent surge in popularity might be attributed to several factors, one of which could be its first major collaboration with the iconic Tomb Raider franchise. The inclusion of Lara Croft likely lent a sense of legitimacy and piqued the interest of skeptical players, encouraging them to give Hero Wars another chance. This collaboration appears to have played a crucial role in achieving the latest milestone.

The unique and often surreal advertising campaigns of Hero Wars have certainly made it stand out, albeit in an unconventional way. While such publicity might deter some, it's clear that it has also contributed to the game's visibility and appeal. As for future prospects, more collaborations could be on the horizon, potentially bringing new life and excitement to the game.
