A special acknowledgment extends to Reddit user numberlockbs, whose diligent data collection efforts provide the foundation for our comprehensive analysis. We'll also identify the biggest gainers of March and try to make sense of the reason behind their success.
Clash of the Titans: Familiar Faces, New Frontrunners
The top of the charts witnessed both dominance and surprise. Honkai: Star Rail maintained its stellar momentum, surging to a remarkable $145 million in March, solidifying its position as a gacha powerhouse. Genshin Impact, despite a slight dip from February, retained its stronghold with $68 million, proving its enduring global appeal.
I wasn't particularly surprise by this because HSR recently had two big marketing moves namely Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1 Special Program Livestream and also the introduction of Acheron on March 27th!
However, the spotlight isn't exclusive. Uma Musume: Pretty Derby emerged as a frontrunner in the Japanese market, experiencing a notable climb to $33 million. I believe the game is still carrying that 3rd anniversary aura I mentioned in last month's report.
Challenges and Setbacks: Not All Games Shine
However, the picture isn't all sunshine and rainbows. One Punch Man: World took a significant hit, experiencing a staggering 79.23% revenue decrease. Similarly, Love Live! SIF2 MIRACLE LIVE! and Archeland faced struggles, with revenues plummeting to $17,000 and $10,000, respectively. It just goes to show that sometimes, manga turn gacha game doesn't guarantee success... and... uh... greedy developer moves could also bring death to a gacha game.
Established Titans: Arknights and FGO Prove Their Worth
Meanwhile, established gacha giants like Arknights and Fate/Grand Order showcased remarkable stability, securing consistent revenue streams of $24.8 million and $24.4 million respectively. This highlights the enduring strength of these well-developed and well-maintained games.
Puzzle & Dragons: A Gacha Gaming Enigma
Puzzle & Dragons remains a fascinating anomaly in the gacha gaming landscape. Despite a relative lack of coverage by major YouTubers, gaming journalists, and even Twitch streamers, it continues to generate millions in revenue each month. This begs the question: what keeps Puzzle & Dragons thriving? I have no clue.
Conclusion
March 2024 show that there's not much changes within the top 10 gacha game earners but Honkai: Star Rail revenue for March 2024 proves that it's going to stay on the throne for much longer than anticipated.
