Squad Busters has experienced its share of highs and lows throughout its brief existence. From its launch as an engaging MOBA featuring Supercell's iconic characters, to facing challenges with revenue and performance metrics, the game has managed to navigate these ups and downs and emerge stronger in the long run.
It's no surprise then that Finnish game developer Supercell is now eyeing an eastward expansion to China for their latest release. This move might seem unexpected, but Supercell has already tasted success with another of its titles, Brawl Stars, in the Chinese market.
Back in 2019, Brawl Stars found itself in a similar predicament as Squad Busters, struggling with performance issues. Supercell's decision to launch it in China proved to be a game-changer. Brawl Stars not only gained early success but also saw significant long-term growth, largely attributed to its performance in China.

The gaming landscape in China has also evolved since Brawl Stars' introduction. What was once seen as a fresh and bold entry into the market has now been met with a surge of innovative releases from Chinese developers that have captivated audiences worldwide. This means Squad Busters will face stiff competition when it eventually launches in China.
