Squad Busters is celebrating its first anniversary with the release of its monumental update, Squad Busters 2.0, scheduled for May 13th. Since its launch in 2024, the game has struggled to achieve the level of popularity Supercell had hoped for. With this update, the developers are aiming to revitalize the game and attract a larger player base.
This Isn’t Just a Tweak or Two
Squad Busters 2.0 represents more than just minor adjustments; it's a comprehensive overhaul that redefines the game's core mechanics. This update is a full-on reboot, altering how battles are conducted and how victories are achieved.
One of the most significant changes is the introduction of Heroes. Players will now select a Hero to lead their squad into battle. These Heroes are based on existing characters, and the stakes are high: if your Hero falls, the game is over for your team.
The combat system is also being transformed. Previously, players had to stop moving to engage in combat, but in Squad Busters 2.0, movement and attacks are seamlessly integrated. This change aims to create more dynamic, fast-paced, and intense matches.
Victory conditions have been redefined as well. Rather than eliminating all opponents, players now only need to defeat the enemy's Hero to win. This shift has drawn comparisons to Brawl Stars, leading some to question if Squad Busters is morphing into a spin-off of that game.
Squad Busters 2.0 Is Dumping a Lot of Old Features
In this major update, several game modes such as Doppelgangers, Double Trouble, Epic Overload, Loot Machines, and Hatchling Herder are being removed. Additionally, certain skins and progression systems are being phased out. To soften the blow, Supercell plans to compensate players with Hero Points and other in-game items.

The rapid implementation of these changes underscores Supercell's urgency to boost Squad Busters' appeal. The game has yet to reach the heights of popularity seen with titles like Clash of Clans or Brawl Stars.
As Squad Busters approaches its first anniversary on May 29th, Supercell is pulling out all the stops to reignite player interest. They're launching daily piñata events, which will offer opportunities to unlock a new Hero, Mortis.
You can download Squad Busters 2.0 from the Google Play Store and dive into the revamped gameplay experience.
