Squad Busters has experienced its share of highs and lows since its launch. Initially released as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's beloved characters, it faced challenges with revenue and other key performance metrics. However, the game has managed to find its footing and show signs of long-term improvement.
It's no surprise that Finnish developer Supercell is now setting its sights on expanding Squad Busters eastward, specifically targeting the Chinese market. While this move might seem unexpected, it follows a successful precedent set by another Supercell title, Brawl Stars.
Back in 2019, Brawl Stars was in a similar position to Squad Busters, struggling with performance. Supercell's decision to launch it in China proved to be a game-changer. The game saw significant success, and the Chinese market played a crucial role in its eventual triumph.
However, entering the Chinese market is not without its challenges. There are stringent regulations limiting the number of foreign games that can be approved for release in China, making each launch a critical opportunity to make an impact.
Since Brawl Stars' release, the landscape has evolved. Chinese developers have introduced innovative games that have captured global attention, which means Squad Busters will need to stand out to make a significant impact upon its release in China.
