Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be coming to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. Supercell, the renowned Finnish mobile developer, has recently put out a call to hire a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests they could be following in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully brought their Angry Birds franchise to the movies back in 2016.
The job description for this new hire, as noted by our sister site PocketGamer.biz, indicates that the role is not just about immediately starting film projects. Instead, it involves building a comprehensive strategy for live-action and animated films, as well as considering theatrical and streaming distribution options. In business terms, this suggests a more strategic, watch-and-wait approach.
While it's still speculative, it's reasonable to assume that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary plans for how they could transition their properties into the film and animation space, should they decide to move forward.
Clash for the agesSupercell has been pushing boundaries with their portfolio, notably through crossovers and collaborations, such as their recent partnership with the WWE. This trend makes a foray into the film industry seem like a natural progression for the developer.
It's worth noting that despite the time that has elapsed since Clash of Clans was first released, the game still boasts a dedicated audience. Additionally, Supercell's newer IPs, like Mo.co, could be positioned for a more family-friendly cinematic release, much like Angry Birds, which hit the screens seven years after its initial launch.
We'll have to keep an eye on how this unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to keep you entertained, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
