It’s been almost 5 years since Supercell acquired a majority stake in Space Ape Games. But despite being a studio able to create engaging games, it hasn’t succeeded yet in releasing a title up to the high standards of the market.
Since the acquisition in 2017, none of its titles have been able to reach the global launch stage:
- Go Race: Super Karts (2018), a kart racing game inspired by Mario Kart. Killed during soft launch.
- Rumble League (2019), a MOBA heavily inspired by Brawl Stars. Killed during soft launch.
- Treasure Tails (2020), a mix between Coin Master and pachinko. Killed during soft launch.
But with the global launch of Beatstar, things might be different this time.
