This should be a WAKE UP call for Supercell!

Working on a BOAT game right now ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—›๐—œ๐—ง ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ making millions?

Supercell’s new BOAT game is in second pre-alfa.

First alfa was 6 months ago. ๐—ฌ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐Ÿฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ต๐˜€! The game feels …. random.


It has some similarities with Supercellโ€™s other titles, like Mo.co and Squad Busters, with gameplay focusing on real-time multiplayer action, while adding in its own ideas.

EHm ehm. Squad Busters is dead. Mo.co almost there as well…

So the question is, ๐˜„๐˜๐—ณ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด? Why not make a strategy game? Just look at what Rivergame or Century games are doing. Launching new HIT games like it was nothing, because they are leveraging years of development and templatization (thanks Jakub)

And it’s working well. Bothย Century Gamesย and Rivergame have increased their revenues significantly since January 2025.

Yes, Supercell did it as well with the Paywall Royale, too. But that’s not the same because Supercell didn’t add any new revenue stream to the mix.

Why does it feel like the best company out there doesn’t know what they are doing?

Jokes aside. The real question is, when willย Ilkkaย resign if they won’t launch a new game?
