Supercell's Squad Busters Launches in China

By BenjaminApr 26,2025

Squad Busters has experienced its fair share of highs and lows since its launch. Initially released as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's iconic characters, it faced challenges with underwhelming revenue and performance metrics. However, it has shown signs of recovery and stabilization over time.

It's no surprise that Supercell, the Finnish gaming giant, is now setting its sights on expanding Squad Busters eastward, specifically targeting the Chinese market. This move may seem unexpected, but it follows a successful precedent set by another of their titles, Brawl Stars.

Back in 2019, Brawl Stars was in a similar position to Squad Busters, struggling with performance issues. Supercell's decision to launch it in China proved to be a game-changer. The game not only gained traction but also saw significant success, partly attributed to its reception in the Chinese market.

However, entering the Chinese market is not without its challenges. Strict regulations limit the number of foreign games that can be launched there, making every release a critical opportunity to make an impact. Since Brawl Stars' debut, the Chinese gaming landscape has evolved, with local developers introducing innovative games that have captured global attention. This evolution means that Squad Busters might face a tougher battle to stand out when it eventually launches in China.
