Tower rush video game Clash Royale was launched in 2016 by game developer Supercell on iOS and Android. The real-time strategy game sets players in three-minute long 1v1 or 2v2 competitions to destroy more towers than their opponents.
Finnish company Supercell Oy was founded in 2010 in the city of Espoo, and work began on the Facebook game Gunshine. The game did not see significant success, and so the company switched to the development of mobile games.
Supercell has fully released several popular mobile games, Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars are a few of the most popular. Clash Royale, the fourth supported game, drew on characters and buildings from Clash of Clans. Other spinoffs Clash Quest, Clash Mini and Clash Heroes have not seen the same levels of success.
Between 2017 and 2020, Supercell held official team esports world championships annually. Since 2021, the Clash Royale League has used a 1v1 format with prize money of $500,000 split amongst the top eight competitors.
Clash Royale continues to be updated by Supercell regularly, with different seasons each month offering new challenges. The developer has also confirmed work on new gameplay for players.
