They say money can’t buy happiness, so I guess Meccha Chameleon creators lemorion_1224 and Haganeiro will have to get a yacht instead. Much has been said about the ludicrous success of the hide-and-seek game, but a recent figure from Newzoo (shared by GamesIndustry.biz<\/a>) further puts things into perspective: for June revenue on PC in a handful of western countries, it came second only to Fortnite.<\/p>\n

Newzoo analyst Mert \u015eahin told GamesIndustry.biz that the game’s sudden and huge success “shows that lower-budget, socially driven multiplayer experiences can achieve significant commercial results.” The game’s low barrier to entry, both price and spec-wise, alongside all the viral popularity it experienced on social media sites like YouTube, certainly helped it along.<\/p>\n

The full list offers the top 20 games by revenue in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy, and after Meccha Chameleon comes Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and League of Legends. There’s a list for console games as well that looks quite different, though Fortnite is the uncontested king of both rings. Other common threads include usual suspects like Minecraft and Marvel Rivals.<\/p>\n

Whether you have any interest in these sorts of low-budget party games or not, there’s no denying their broad appeal. It’s hard not to think of the sudden ubiquity of Among Us in 2020, which just got a TV show and continues to enjoy collab<\/a> after collab<\/a> six years later, as Meccha Chameleon puts up such astonishing numbers and teases its own first collaboration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It might have to deal with cheating problems<\/a> and sloppy AI ripoffs<\/a>, but ignore the noise and there’s a genuinely great game waiting for you. In his review<\/a>, PC Gamer’s Lincoln Carpenter called it “a delightfully elevated take on hide-and-seek \u2026 Meccha Chameleon’s game of competitive camouflage is a multiplayer experience that exceeds its friendslop trappings.”<\/p>\n
