The full launch of Squad Busters has taken place. This is the sixth Supercell game to reach global release
A new release from Supercell is now available for download in mobile stores worldwide. It's called Squad Busters. This is an isometric battle royale featuring characters from other games by the Finnish company.
Squad Busters
The core mechanics of the new release work roughly as follows:
- The player enters a large arena;
- There are two types of resources in the arena — gold and emeralds;
- Gold is spent on purchasing fighters in the arena (the more fighters, the stronger the squad; three identical fighters merge into one giant);
- Emeralds are the main condition for victory; whoever collects the most wins;
- Both resources are collected by killing creeps and destroying objects on the map (and can also be obtained from other players' characters);
- Squad attacks and interactions occur automatically;
- The player can only control movement, acceleration, and item activation.

The project is very dynamic. Matches last three minutes. The interface and many visual elements are borrowed from Brawl Stars, Supercell's previous game.
The game was announced in January 2023. Since February of last year, it has been actively "tested" in closed beta tests in Canada, Spain, and Mexico. The game entered official soft launch on April 23, 2024. Notably, the company almost immediately stated that the game would not remain in soft launch for long, just one month.
Supercell likely has high expectations for Squad Busters. The number of pre-registrations for the title had reached 30 million by May 14. Furthermore, according to AppMagic, during the month of soft launch, the game was downloaded by over 5 million users, generating $1.5 million in revenue.
