Supercell Launches Squad Busters in China

by Emily May 12,2025

Squad Busters has experienced its fair share of ups and downs since its launch. Initially released as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's iconic characters, it faced challenges with underwhelming revenue and other performance metrics. However, it appears that the game has managed to overcome these hurdles and is now on a more stable path.

It's no surprise then that Finnish gaming giant Supercell is setting its sights on expanding Squad Busters eastward, specifically targeting the Chinese market. 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 to Squad Busters, grappling with performance issues. Supercell's decision to launch Brawl Stars in China proved to be a game-changer. The game saw significant success, and the Chinese market played a crucial role in its eventual strong performance.

There are stringent regulations that limit the number of foreign games that can be approved for launch, making every new entry a critical endeavor. Since Brawl Stars' launch, the landscape has shifted. Chinese developers have been innovating and releasing impressive new games that have captured global attention, which could pose a challenge for Squad Busters as it aims to make its mark in this competitive environment.
