Eclipse: The Awakening tops App Store and Google Play after launch
Key takeaways
- Login rewards run through the 14th of next month
- New world ‘Belzera’ opens on the 16th and gets identical rewards
Smilegate’s new MMORPG Eclipse: The Awakening reached No.1 on both the Apple App Store and Google Play following its October release, with the game hitting App Store top-grossing on the 10th and claiming Google Play’s top spot on the 15th. The company announced a time-limited login reward campaign to celebrate the double chart-topping result.
The reward campaign runs through the 14th of next month and grants every logged-in player a bundle of growth resources: 10,000,000 gold, a “Sanctuary Acceleration Blessing,” and “Equipment Enhancement Crystal” items. Smilegate said those same rewards will be available to users who join the new world server “Belzera,” which opens on the 16th. The promotion is automatic on login; players on Belzera will receive the identical package once the server launches.
Eclipse’s design leans on a pair of player-facing systems to reduce grind while keeping progression steady. The Sanctuary content hands out summon tickets and growth currencies on a time-based schedule, letting players collect rewards over time. An AI mode keeps characters progressing during offline periods, so progress can continue even when players aren’t actively logged in. Those mechanics sit alongside standard MMO combat and growth loops rather than replacing them.
Smilegate has been communicating directly with players since launch. On the 14th the team hosted a “Eclipse Developer Live” broadcast on the official YouTube channel; Lee Sang-moon, the game’s lead PD, discussed balance changes including adjustments to close-range class combat and lowered world boss difficulty. Smilegate director Shin Jae-ik thanked players for helping the game reach No.1 on both stores and promised continued service and content updates in response to feedback.
Why it matters
Takeaway: players who log in before the reward window closes on the 14th — and anyone joining the Belzera server on its 16th opening — get the same 10M gold plus sanctuary and enhancement items, while the Sanctuary and AI systems keep characters earning growth even during offline hours.
