Finnish game developer Supercell has made a surprising announcement. Following the cancellation of their RPG, Clash Heroes, they've revealed a successor: Project R.I.S.E. This isn't simply a relaunch; it's a completely new game.
The Full Story
Clash Heroes is officially defunct. Confirming earlier speculation, and mirroring the fate of Clash Mini, it's been shelved. However, Supercell is giving players a second chance with Project R.I.S.E., a social action RPG roguelite set within the familiar Clash universe.
Supercell's announcement video featured game lead Julien Le Cadre, who stated plainly, "Clash Heroes is dead. That's the bad news," he explained. "The good news is that Project R.I.S.E. is still a Clash game, and even better news is that it's now a multiplayer-focused action RPG."

Project R.I.S.E. shares some DNA with Clash Heroes, but it's a significantly different game. It's a social action RPG roguelite built from the ground up.Players will team up in groups of three to explore The Tower, a mysterious location. Each playthrough involves a different floor, with the objective being to ascend as far as possible. Unlike its predecessor, Project R.I.S.E. emphasizes cooperative gameplay with diverse characters, moving away from solo PvE dungeon crawling.
Currently in pre-alpha, Project R.I.S.E. is slated for its first playtest in early July 2024. Registration for a chance to participate is open on the official website.
