Supercell's Squad Busters Launches in China

Squad Busters has experienced its share of fluctuations throughout its journey. From its launch as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's beloved characters, to facing challenges with revenue and other performance metrics, the game has shown resilience by gradually improving its standing over time.

It's no surprise, then, that Finnish gaming giant Supercell is now setting its sights on expanding Squad Busters eastward, specifically targeting the Chinese market. This move might seem unexpected at first, but it aligns with Supercell's successful strategy of introducing another of its titles, Brawl Stars, to China.

Back in 2019, Brawl Stars found itself in a situation similar to Squad Busters, struggling with performance issues. Supercell's decision to launch it in China proved to be a game-changer. The game experienced significant success shortly after its eastern debut, and the Chinese market played a crucial role in its eventual triumph.

However, entering the Chinese market is not without its challenges. Regulations limit the number of foreign games that can be approved for release, making it essential for every launch to make a significant impact. Since the release of Brawl Stars, the landscape has evolved. Chinese developers have been pushing the boundaries with innovative releases that have captured global attention, meaning Squad Busters might face a tougher competition when it finally launches in China.
