Honkai Star Rail has been knocked off its high horse, as it has reportedly fallen to the number three worldwide among the gacha game revenue rankings in November. What games managed to overcome the spacefaring and gambling-based behemoth? Genshin Impact, of course! As well as Godess of Victory: Nikke – perhaps the most popular game about bums of all-time.
This information comes courtesy of Sensor Tower’s monthly gacha revenue report. Sensor Tower is a data analystics company focused on the video game industry, and has been publishing monthly financial earnings reports aabout the gacha industry for a while now. While not infalliable, these reports do serve as a good indicator of which way the gacha winds are blowing month-on-month.
The changes in November order were certainly significant. Honkai Star Rail fell from an incredible 45 million dollars to 20 million dollars – an almost 45% drop. This very well could have been due to the release of the version 1.5 update: The Crepuscule Zone. While this has added new characters to the mix, it’s also a filler update narratively. As such, overall participation from players this time around may have fallen.
