Com2uS announced on March 2 that its global hit "Summoners War: Sky Arena (Summoners War)" has received an epic update with a collaboration with Ubisoft Entertainment's "Assassin's Creed" that has seen its sales rankings soar in app markets around the world.
Summoners War launched its collaboration update with global IP Assassin's Creed on February 28th and introduced a variety of collaborative content.
Five popular characters from the Assassin's Creed series were created as collaboration monsters, and various limited contents such as the Assassin's Headquarters and the Collaboration Dungeon, where players can earn various rewards by completing missions, have been added and have been well received by fans around the world.
With this update, Summoners War became the No. 1 game on the Apple App Store in Germany and Hong Kong after the collaboration, proving once again the brand power of Summoners War.
In particular, the app market rankings soared in Western regions such as Europe and North America, where Summoners War and Assassin's Creed have large fan bases.
On the day of the update, the game was ranked #10 in North America, the world's largest gaming market, in the U.S. and Canada, and on the same day it was ranked #2 in France and returned to the top 10 in several major European countries, including Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
In South Korea, the game also climbed the charts, reaching a new high of #9 after the update. On March 1, the day after the update, the game soared across Southeast Asia, including #3 in Singapore, #5 in the Philippines, and #7 in Thailand, and after hitting the top 20 in Japan, the game saw a huge jump in China, where it was met with an overwhelming response to the service's first collaboration monsters.
In fact, Summoners War's global audience has grown significantly. On February 28, Summoners War's global daily active users and downloads were up significantly from the previous day, and new and returning users were up significantly across all regions, demonstrating the global interest in this collaboration.
