Top Newcomers: Zenless Zone Zero, Minesweeper Netflix & More

TOP-LIST NEWCOMERS
”ZENLESS ZONE ZERO”, “MINESWEEPER NETFLIX”, AND OTHERS.

Last week was filled with new games on the top charts. 🏅

I’ll talk about some of them below.

✅ “Zenless Zone Zero” by HoYoverse
The developer of the big hits “Genshin Impact” and “Honkai: Star Rail” released its new action RPG for iOS, Android, PC, and PS5 last week: “Zenless Zone Zero”.
As with previous HoYoverse games, ZZZ begins with incredible numbers. 🤯
In five days the game reached almost US$20MM in IAP revenue on the Apple store alone.
Among the game reviews, I recommend Harshal Karvande‘s excellent article on the Naavik blog. 👉 🧠

✅ “Schoolboy Runaway – stealth” by Linked Squad
“Schoolboy” is a life simulator in which the player is a young man unhappy with his parents.
As it says in the store description, “immerse yourself in the role of a schoolchild whom the parents punished for a bad grade at school, and try to escape from home without being noticed by father and mother.” 😕
Despite its ethical dilemmas, the game has become a trend in Russia 🇷🇺 and is spreading around the world.
In the last two weeks, the game has accumulated more than 2MM downloads.

✅ “Wasteland Life: Survival Idle” by SayGames
I mentioned “Wasteland” in my list of releases and transfers from the last half of May.
It is an Idle Arcade with a Mad Max-style desert survival narrative. 🏜️💦
Developed by Tinkles Games, “Wasteland Life” started the growth stage on June 4th, reaching over 1MM so far. 📈

✅ “Minesweeper NETFLIX” by Netflix
Developed by Smoking Gun Interactive Inc. (a Keywords Studios company), this streaming giant’s version of a classic puzzle Minesweeper📍💣 is amazing!
And it wasn’t just me who liked the game. 🤩
In just a couple of days since its release, the game has already surpassed 200k downloads. 📈
