Supercell is ending development of Clash Mini after over two years in beta – though it will live on within Clash Royale.
The autochess-like game has been in soft launch since November 2021, and most recently opened up in the UK back in July 2023. That was on top of typical soft launch markets including the Nordics, Australia, Canada, Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong, where it has received multiple updates over the years.
Development on the game is now ending, but Supercell said that the game will live on within Clash Royale. “We can still see very high potential and love for the game within Supercell and our Community,” Supercell said on its blog.
“With that in mind, we have decided to commit to bringing the Clash Mini experience to Clash Royale to reach its fullest potential. By doing this, we can better serve many more players in fulfilling our ultimate goal and vision. Once we have concrete updates on the next steps for this development, we intend to share them with you as soon as possible.”
Supercell also seeded the news with influencers like Orange Juice, which posted a video on the cancellation this morning:
Reflecting on why Clash Mini is being shuttered, Supercell said it was “a good game but not the game that would ultimately fulfill our dream.”
It continued: “The past few updates of Clash Mini have shown significant improvements thanks to you on all possible fronts that we cared about, but our quality bar was not met even after all those improvements.”
“Namely, in the last few updates, we have seen peak interest from both our Creator Program and our Community on Reddit and Discord to provide constructive feedback as to how the game could be improved, and we have spent a lot of time trying to fit all of it into the game.”
Supercell will also host a farewell party of sorts for the game on its Discord server, and has invited various creators to take part.
Players of the game will be able to transfer their in-app purchases over to any other Supercell game by contacting player support. The game’s servers will begin to close in late April, and then be de-listed from the App Store and Google Play.
Supercell confirmed its latest kill just after revealing a new greenlight process, which CEO Ilkka Paananen and Team Lab boss Stephan Demirdjian explained exclusively to us. Perhaps most notably of all, that process, now known as Spark, is also open to external teams who want to pitch and go on to make the next Supercell game.
