This seems very low frequency for a mobile game, particularly a new one that should be trying to maintain player engagement with new content.įor comparison, that’s a similar seasonal pace as TFT, a more established title with tons of content and higher degree of mastery depth. Interestingly, the release of new Seasons has been linked to these major updates, meaning that the seasonal cycle of Clash Mini is 60 to 90 days. There has been nothing as radical and core as the screen orientation change on Brawl Stars. That is intriguing because our original expectation was that the changes during the soft launch would include big impactful modifications of the core gameplay (new rules, game modes…), and not only out-of-action-phase additions. Ultimately, it seems that the strategy has been around completing the game with side mechanics and not touching the core.

There have been about 4 months without any update, which means that the team is monitoring the variations introduced or that they’re working on another massive revamp.īut have the updates been ambitious enough? Most of the changes have been related to progression and side mechanics (new upgrade systems, clans…), with just one being clearly impactful on gameplay (Gizmos). Interestingly, updates stopped on November 22, right after that big one. Each of these major updates added multiple changes, in particular, the latest one last November was quite big, overhauling many elements of the economy and game visuals.

That was Riot Games’ playbook with TFT and Wild Rift.īut to be fair, it sounds like a long shot because even though the Clash of Clans IP is known among Chinese players, it’s unlikely to have anything close to the attraction power of League of Legends… What has changed since the early soft launch?ĭuring this year in soft launch, Clash Mini has had a more-or-less active update schedule, with a significant update being released every ~2-3 months. If that was the intention, perhaps it could make sense to launch globally early on and use the learnings to continue building a deeper meta, LiveOps capacity, and additional content while waiting for the approval to release in China. IMHO, a global release before the end of 2023 would be possible, but only if the expectations for Mini are to be a mediocre revenue game in the West but a powerhouse in China - which is the situation with the autochess genre leader, Riot Games's TFT. Integrating those newcomers into the team will take some time (potentially quite a bit if any of them relocates to Shanghai from overseas, which I doubt), and designing, implementing, and validating that the new systems improve the game ARPU will take even longer. In my opinion, this looks like they need the designers to work on the long-term systems, and the artists are to generate the extra volume of content (characters, skins…).
The main reasons are (1) that the open positions are for systems & LiveOps design, and multiple artists and (2) that the game RPD looks flat, which points out a lack of content and endgame systems. My estimation is that - if it happens at all - it would happen somewhere in 2024 at the earliest. Prediction: Clash Mini global launch isn’t imminentīefore jumping into those questions, it’s worth clarifying that I believe Clash Mini is still many months away from an actual global launch. What has changed in Clash Mini since the beginning of the soft launch?ĭoes it currently look like it could be a hit? So in this piece, we will answer two questions: Note: Blank entries on the table means no changes were made.If Clash Mini achieves a hit status comparable to every other Supercell global launch before, the relevance for the company would be hard to overstate:įirst, it would mean the validation of their ‘new studios’ strategy (let’s remember that Clash Mini would be the first game ever released by the Supercell Shanghai studio).Īnd more importantly, it would mark the end of the 6 years long hit drought that Supercell has been suffering ever since the release of Brawl Stars in 2017, single-handedly setting the company back on the path of growth.īut are we putting too much weight on the tiny shoulders of the Minis…?Ī deep analysis doesn’t show a clear path to success.
