【Gossip】Sensor Tower September Revenue Rankings: Is the ACG Game Market Losing Steam?

Sensor Tower has released its mobile game revenue rankings for September, including a breakdown for the ACG (Anime, Comic, Games) sector. The top three spots remain dominated by industry giants, with 'Honor of Kings' and 'Peacekeeper Elite' showing strong stability. 'Genshin Impact' leads the ACG category with 39M from China IOS and 52M from the global version. Notably, 'Tower of Fantasy' secured a spot on the list thanks to its 22M global revenue, while other ACG titles like 'Arknights' and 'Path to Nowhere' remained in lower positions.

The comment section immediately turned into a battlefield of analysis. Many players lamented, 'When will the light reach the ACG sector?' expressing concerns over the overall market performance. The main focus was on the makeup of 'Tower of Fantasy's' global revenue, with some expert players pointing to the 'stuck ranking' (a phenomenon where the store ranking doesn't update, causing data measurement errors) previously seen on the Android store. They argue that its high revenue figures are bloated and predict a sharp decline in the future. Meanwhile, there was a lively discussion regarding the steady performance of 'Path to Nowhere' and the event-driven revenue of 'Tears of Themis'.
