Lilith Games’ new free-to-play game AFK Journey climbs to the top of China iOS charts
Lilith Games' AFK Journey tops China iOS charts and gains global success with free heroes and one-hand vertical gameplay.
AFK Journey, developed by Lilith Games, has soared to the top of China’s iOS free game download charts within a week of its release. The 3D strategy card game also claimed top spots in South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macau, while reaching the top 15 in Japan, according to Nadianshi.
Lilith Games, known for hits like AFK Arena and Rise of Kingdoms, faces a challenge with AFK Journey due to its strategy card genre. However, the game entices players with free hero availability, vertical screen gameplay for one-hand play, and an open-world exploration feature.
According to SensorTower, AFK Journey's overseas revenue exceeded Rise of Kingdoms in April. Local media Gaming Daily estimated the game's first-month overseas revenue at approximately RMB 300 million ($42 million).
