Fire Emblem Heroes made the news again. Based on the latest report from SensorTower, Nintendo’s mobile games have generated more than $1 billion since they first release their games on mobile devices. $656 million of those revenue came from Fire Emblem Heroes. Animal Crossing game is at 2nd place with $131 million and Dragalia Lost game at 3rd place with $123 million.
It’s such an amazing feat for Fire Emblem Heroes, considering that there are only approx. 18 million downloads (4% of Nintendo mobile games download).
Based on the latest news and the previous September news, we can conclude that Fire Emblem Heroes made about $38 million is the latest quarter. That’s still a very robust revenue for a “dying” game. Well, that seems to be the sentiment of many people on reddit, especially those who have left the game.
If we step back a bit and consider the gaming landscape as a whole, Fire Emblem Heroes game is still very healthy. Yes, the revenue has been decreasing and it’s not as hot as before, but still going strong. $38 million in the latest quarter alone seems to indicate that the game may generate in the range of $70-100 million per year revenue. That should’ve place Fire Emblem Heroes as the top 50 games for the year.
