Google Play. They are "로드나인"（Lord Nine）, "ゼンレスゾーンゼロ", （Zenless Zone Zero), and "오딘: 발할라 라이징" (Odin: Valhalla Rising). Both "로드나인"（Lord Nine）and "ゼンレスゾーンゼロ"（Zenless Zone Zero) are the new games that released in July.

Top Grossing Mobile Game in July
The top-grossing games for July on the App Store and Google Play were "王者荣耀"(Honor of Kings), and "리니지M" (Lineage M).
"王者荣耀"(Honor of Kings)-App Store
"王者荣耀"(Honor of Kings) has consistently held the top spot in global revenue charts in the App for many years.
In the past two years, the only time "王者荣耀"(Honor of Kings) dropped to second place was this June.
Last month, Tencent heavily promoted their new major IP mobile game "地下城与勇士：起源" (Dungeon & Fighter: Origin)," successfully capturing the top spot and diverting attention and traffic from "王者荣耀"(Honor of Kings).
This month, unsurprisingly, "Honor of Kings" reclaimed its throne at the top of the revenue charts, surpassing DNF Mobile by $26,855,503, which is nearly 26% higher than DNF Mobile's earnings.
"리니지M" (Lineage M)-Google Play
"리니지M"(Lineage M) is an RPG game released exclusively in South Korea. It surged to the top of the revenue charts for July with earnings of $73,802,709.
The mobile game was officially launched by NCSOFT on Google Play on July 5, 2017.
According to FoxData, the game's revenue had been mediocre since 2024, but it started to steadily increase in May.
On June 18, the game received an update that introduced "EPISODE. ZERO" and the 7th anniversary update of the service.
As a result, the game saw a more noticeable upward trend in late June following the May increase, reaching its peak on August 1.
This success led the game to top the revenue charts for July.

New Games Soars into Top 10
Let's delve into the two new games soars into Top 10 in App Store. What's the secrets behind their success?
"로드나인"（Lord Nine）
"로드나인"(Lord Nine) successfully entered the top 8 on the Google Play revenue chart with an advantage of $33,998,294.
This RPG game is only available in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, with South Korea being its primary revenue source, accounting for approximately 97.83% of its earnings.
Since its release on July 13, "로드나인"(Lord Nine) has never fallen out of the top 3 in both the Games (Grossing) and Role Playing (Grossing) rankings.
The early performance of a new game largely depends on user retention, and "로드나인"(Lord Nine) meets user needs with its easy and fast character progression.
Many games in the past have focused solely on features, neglecting the fundamental aspect of fun. However, "로드나인"(Lord Nine) emphasizes the enjoyment of character growth, which is considered the core of all RPGs due to its significant impact on game immersion.
In "로드나인"(Lord Nine), characters grow according to a system where their levels vary based on their weapons.
Additionally, the game's reasonable pricing model is generating a synergistic effect, resulting in positive first impressions and outcomes.
One of the representative slogans of "로드나인"(Lord Nine) is its commonsense billing model. The game offers a substantial amount of virtual character summoning rights as task rewards, and the guaranteed summoning system for hero-level virtual characters reduces the billing burden from the start, creating a positive impact.

"ゼンレスゾーンゼロ"（Zenless Zone Zero)
"ゼンレスゾーンゼロ" (Zenless Zone Zero), an RPG game released globally by HoYoverse, successfully entered the top 9 on the Google Play revenue chart with an advantage of $23,432,204.
During the pre-download phase, it topped the iOS free charts in 99 countries and regions worldwide. The game is available on iOS, Android, and PC.
The game managed to enter the top 9 on the Google Play revenue chart in its first month with an impressive advantage of $23,432,204. However, for its publisher, HoYoverse, "ゼンレスゾーンゼロ" (Zenless Zone Zero) may not be considered a successful product.
This game continues to cannibalize the player base of other HoYoverse products like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. The release of Zenless Zone Zero has also led to a significant decline in the revenue of these older games.
Moreover, based on subsequent download numbers, ratings, and feedback, Zenless Zone Zero clearly does not follow the optimistic trajectory seen with other HoYoverse games.
Both iOS and Android global revenues have shown a downward trend since the late July. Recent daily global revenues are significantly lower than the daily average income.

Additionally, the rating trends in its main markets—China, the United States, and Japan—have been declining.
Furthermore, the reviews and ratings on the App Store and Google Play are highly polarized, with a noticeable increase in both 5-star and 1-star ratings. Compared to HoYoverse's previous titles, the reputation of this game is indeed relatively poor.
