Lineage 2: Revolution celebrates gaining over 5 million mobile players with month of events (update)

Netmarble claims it’s got one of the fastest-growing mobile games in the world, and today, it’s showing the numbers to back up the boasting for Lineage 2: Revolution. The South Korean publisher and developer said that it has more than 5 million registered players for its online blend of Diablo and multiplayer games like World of Warcraft.

Lineage 2 debuted in 54 countries in November, so bagging 5 million players is impressive, even for a major mobile publisher with an established, successful IP. And to keep those players engaged, as any proper developer of free-to-play online games does, Netmarble is introducing new events for January — and giving away free loot: Five Enhance Scroll items to all players.
