Squad Busters is the latest Supercell release to head to China

Author:Kristen Update:May 01,2025

Squad Busters has experienced its share of highs and lows throughout its brief existence. Initially launched as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's beloved characters, it faced challenges with revenue and other performance metrics. However, the game has managed to recover and stabilize over time.

It's no surprise then that Finnish powerhouse Supercell is now setting its sights on the East, particularly China, for Squad Busters' next venture. This move might seem unexpected, but it follows a successful precedent set by another Supercell title, Brawl Stars.

Back in 2019, Brawl Stars found itself in a similar situation, struggling with performance issues. Supercell's decision to launch it in China proved to be a game-changer. The move contributed significantly to Brawl Stars' eventual success, showcasing the potential of the Chinese market.

However, entering the Chinese market is not without its challenges. Strict regulations limit the number of foreign games that can be approved for release, making each launch crucial. Since Brawl Stars' debut, the landscape has evolved, with Chinese developers releasing innovative games that have gained global acclaim. This means Squad Busters will face stiff competition when it eventually launches in China.
