Supercell Launches Squad Busters in China

Author : Sarah Update : May 04,2025

Squad Busters, the latest release from Finnish superdeveloper Supercell, has experienced its share of highs and lows since its launch. Initially introduced as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's beloved characters, it faced challenges with underwhelming revenue and performance metrics. However, the game has managed to turn things around and stabilize over time.

Given this turnaround, it's no surprise that Supercell is now eyeing an expansion into the Eastern market, specifically targeting China. This strategic move echoes Supercell's successful approach with another of their games, Brawl Stars. Back in 2019, Brawl Stars also struggled initially but saw a significant boost in performance after its launch in China, contributing to its overall success.

Strict regulations limit the number of foreign games that can be approved for release, making each launch a critical endeavor. Since Brawl Stars debuted, the landscape has shifted; Chinese developers have been innovating and releasing impressive games that have gained global acclaim. This means that Squad Busters may face stiff competition when it eventually launches in China.
