Clash Royale

Clash Royale is a popular mobile strategy game developed and published by Supercell. Originally released in 2016, the game is a spin-off of the Clash of Clans franchise, combining elements from collectible card games, tower defense, and multiplayer online battle arenas. The game was designed and developed in Helsinki, Finland, which remains the primary hub for its ongoing updates and maintenance.

While the brand originated as an independent Finnish venture, its ownership structure changed significantly when Tencent Holdings Ltd., a Chinese multinational technology conglomerate, acquired a majority stake in Supercell. As of 2024 and beyond, Supercell operates as a subsidiary of Tencent, maintaining high creative autonomy while being part of one of the world's largest gaming portfolios. The game is distributed globally through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
