Rise of Firstborn
Overview
Rise of Firstborn (Formerly Iron Throne) is a 4x mobile game that has maintained steady retention and revenue in a very competitive hardcore genre. The game launched globally on June 7th, 2018.
Netmarble F&C (formerly “4PLAT Inc.”) came to GamerSpeak two months before they were going to launch their first 4x title, Iron Throne: The Firstborn. They were coming in late to a highly competitive market of 4x games from the likes of MZ, FunPlus, Tap4Fun, and Elex.
To ensure they could get an edge on all those other games, they hired GamerSpeak one and half years before the global launch to write up extensive breakdowns for all other top 4x games in the market. GamerSpeak highlighted the latest and greatest features from each game that monetized successfully, as well as the core elements that made the most successful 4x games fun. Later on, GamerSpeak created detailed, quality strategy guides for Rise of Firstborn as well.
