Coupled with news that its player base in Japan has now surpassed 16 million, Puzzle & Dragons developer GungHo Online Entertainment has revealed the game now boasts 1 million users in south Korea.
Puzzle & Dragons launched in the region initially on Android in December 2012, rolling out on iOS the following month, meaning the game is gaining around 160,000 users in South Korea every month.
With a population of 50 million, it also means GungHo's game has attracted an audience equal to around 2 percent of the nation's total population.
Eye on US
GungHo has been less willing to talk about Puzzle & Dragons' performance in the US, however one of just four nations, including Canada, where the game is currently available.
A quick scan of the App Store's top grossing charts in the US places the game in the #32 spot, with King's Candy Crush Saga and Supercell's Clash of Clans leading the way.
In its home territory of Japan, however, Puzzle & Dragons continues to add users at a rate of around 1 million every three weeks.
