"War of Heroes" and "Tomb Raider" successfully collaborated, and the number of installs soared to 150 million

Hero Wars has hit a new lifetime install milestone of 150 million
It's also held strong in many charts and remains a top-grossing game for Nexters
We reckon we can take a guess as to what's sparked this latest milestone

Hero Wars has hit a new milestone as the Nexters-developed fantasy RPG hits 150m lifetime installs. Hero Wars, which you may know from its unusual YouTube advertisements, has also hit new peaks for revenue, which for a game released more than half a decade ago is quite impressive.
Hero Wars, which follows the knight Galahad in his attempts to dethrone the Archdemon, has been holding strong in the charts since its release in 2017. However, this latest milestone remains impressive, especially given stiff competition.
We can't speak much to Hero Wars' overall quality, after all, we tend to cover the newer stuff here. But it's clear that audiences are still big fans of the adventures of Galahad, and we can take a few guesses as to why.

Odd to remarkable
While they say no publicity is bad publicity, we'd be remiss not to speculate that there are some individuals deterred by Hero Wars' often peculiar and frankly extraordinary advertising. That's why we could posit that this recent milestone was driven partly by Hero Wars' first major collaboration with Tomb Raider of all things.

That air of authenticity from Lara Croft likely helped encourage some hesitant players to give Hero Wars a second look, and that's definitely paid off with this recent milestone. So, can we anticipate more collabs in the future? We'd speculate perhaps so.
