Could Clash of Clans or another major Supercell property be making its way to the big screen? It's a possibility that's becoming more tangible as the renowned Finnish mobile developer has recently started searching for a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests that Supercell might be following in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully transitioned their Angry Birds franchise to the movies back in 2016.
While the prospect of seeing Clash of Clans on the silver screen is exciting, it's important to temper expectations. As noted by our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job description for this new hire focuses more on strategizing for live-action and animated films, as well as theatrical and streaming distribution, rather than immediately launching into production. In business terms, this role seems to be more about planning and preparation than immediate action. However, it's likely that Supercell is already sketching out preliminary ideas for how they might approach this potential venture.
Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, venturing into crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with WWE. This trend suggests that expanding into film and animation could be a logical next step for the developer. Despite the significant time that has passed since Clash of Clans was first released, the game still boasts a robust audience. Additionally, Supercell's newer IPs, like Mo.co, could be positioned for a more family-oriented film release, similar to how Angry Birds was adapted seven years after its initial launch.
Only time will tell how this development unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to keep you entertained, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
