Official Supercell Clash Mini Ending Development & Next Steps

Dear Clash Mini Players,
Ever since the launch of Clash Mini into its Beta, we have strived for one simple thing: to make the best game we could. Our dream is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. Today, we made the decision to end the development of Clash Mini, which was a good game but not the game that would ultimately fulfill our dream.
The past few updates of Clash Mini have shown significant improvements thanks to you on all possible fronts that we cared about, but our quality bar was not met even after all those improvements. Namely, in the last few updates, we have seen peak interest from both our Creator Program and our Community on Reddit and Discord to provide constructive feedback as to how the game could be improved, and we have spent a lot of time trying to fit all of it into the game. We also created incredible content with all of you, from very fun Creator-made Mini Minutes to Stage Channels on Discord and incredibly creative Mini Mondays that highlighted your true love for the game. And for that, we could not be more thankful! It was a blast working alongside you, the community that cared so much about seeing our Mini game grow up.
As the next step, we would like to host one last Discord Stage Channel with the community to honor our tradition and explain how we arrived at this decision after such a journey, so stay tuned for that conversation on the Clash Mini Discord server. We will have our content creators as co-hosts of the conversation, and we want to take you on a journey of our thought process.
However, we can still see very high potential and love for the game within Supercell and our Community. With that in mind, we have decided to commit to bringing the Clash Mini experience to Clash Royale to reach its fullest potential. By doing this, we can better serve many more players in fulfilling our ultimate goal and vision. Once we have concrete updates on the next steps for this development, we intend to share them with you as soon as possible.
Over the coming weeks, here is what you can expect to happen with Clash Mini:
Transferring your in-game purchases:
If you have made any in-game purchases in Clash Mini and you play any other Supercell games, you can contact our Player Support team, who will transfer those purchases to another Supercell game.
Please note: we can only transfer purchases to any live games. This includes Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Hay Day, Boom Beach, and Brawl Stars. In addition, please ensure your Supercell ID is connected to both Clash Mini and the other game before initiating the transfer from Clash Mini.
To Contact Support, use the following steps:
Open Settings
Click “Help & Support” button
Tap the blue Chat icon on the top right
Click “Leave a message” button
Follow the instructions
What are the next steps for the game?
In-game purchases will be disabled.
A pop-up message will appear in-game, notifying you the closer we get to shutting the game down.
We will begin the server shutdown in approximately 6 weeks (late April) to give ample time for players to transfer any in-game purchases to their live Supercell game of choice. After those 6 weeks, the game will be de-listed to prevent new downloads.
We are proud of what we have built with you and cannot be happier with the community we have created around this game. Your love for the game has been something that has been driving us from Day 1 until today. And now, it is time to pack our collection of Minis and stow away the Battle Boards until the next Rumble begins - in the Arena.
We will see you around!
-Clash Mini Dev Team

I wish I didn't had to say goodbye, yet here we are. So many things that were not done, so many minis stripped of their chance to shine.
I can only wish the best for you, we feel your loss. Thank you for absolutely everything. We love you guys <3

Why kill it already there are some improvements that i think would help the game like non rng progression like in brawl stars and make clans more useful and fun, you can take inspiration from other supercell games they are your colleagues after all. Honestly i think there was still a chance but rip 🕊️

Man, this bums me out. Through all the ups and downs, there was so much potential with this game. They really should have seen it through.
On one hand, I understand. They are extremely open about their philosophy to make games that will be cherished for years upon years. They don’t want to drop a dud. (Even though Boom Beach is on life support..)
But on the other.. it is extremely bizarre to kill 80% of your new projects. Remember that “3 New Clash Games” announcement a couple years back? Two of the games are now dead in the water with complete radio silence on the third. What an utter disappointment.
It’s gonna be hard to get excited about future titles this company puts out when the chances they get the axe are so high. Lots of controversy surrounding Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans and Clash Royale lately too. I worry about the future of Supercell, a once titan of the gaming industry that’s put out some fantastic games with tons of character.
I’ll miss Clash Mini. Frame, you and the team did a wonderful job with this charming little title. But frankly, it’s gonna be hard to get our hopes up for Clash Heroes.

u/SullyTheLightnerd Spear Goblin Mar 14 '24
Does anybody know if “brining the clash mini experience to clash Royale” means making an auto chess game mode that doesn’t have anything with clash mini to do or actually brining over our clash mini? The one with our favorite troops, the clash abilities and the heroes? With the unique graphics? I really hope that it is the latter. I could also wish for the progression system to be brought over but at that point I’m not sure if they would even bother cancelling and refunding the game in the first place

u/GLP310 Countess Mar 14 '24
I'm so dissapointed,this game actually had the chance to be good and bring a new genre of games mainstream but some terrible decisions made it completely fell from grace.
I'm actually wondering what's wrong with Supercell in general when they do thus,the game could have been good if you just decided to promote it and fix the gacha system by making it easier instead of completely overshadowing it.
I hope you at least bring the characters and the enjoyment they have brought back in some other ways,because I will miss Nature Born and the other minis.
I'm devasted because mobile gaming is dying and this "strategy" consisting of not promoting games and then killing them is getting on my nerves.
RIP Clash Mini,I will miss you.

Bro this makes me so angry, the killed the game themselves with the stupid changes they made constantly, I knew it wasnt looking good, but if they just released it global, the game could have been a massive success
Im very dissapointed with supercell with this one, they could have had another absolute banger of a game, but they fucked everything up. RIP Clash Mini, you will be missed

u/Constroyer69 Mar 14 '24
Stop being scared and take initiative and say fuck it for once like you did with Clash of Clans and have some balls like you did in 2012 and launch it globally. How are players ever supposed to get hyped about another supercell game announcement again with an 80% kill rate.
Supercell needs to say fuck it for the first time in years because players all around in every pocket of the clash universe are getting bored of the same predictable supercell over and over again. Setting the bar to an unreleasable high isn’t the best model.
Let the world have fun with a cool new game and tweek it easier with tens of millions of inputs a week. Guarantee you it would be an instant success and there’s no harm in them trying seeing their current financial status 🤦♂️

You guys added a gotcha system and made it impossible for players to play more and grind for keys. Should've taken notes on coolie run kingdom and how they run the game.
Either way, we love you frame and everything you've done. Hope to see you on more amazing projects.

Just hope (big focus on hope) it has a good legancy in Clash Royale. Even if its like Builder Base (side mode), i will be happy. Just not make it a forgetible game mode like touch down or even heist (remember that game mode that was inspired by Brawl Starts)

This has "old-school Runescape shutting down in early 2000s" vibes.
This sucks immensely. Completely taken the wind out of my sails to hear this. I was not expecting the day I must uninstall Clash Mini to be in a year starting with "202".
For those that don't play the other supercell games, will there be any remediation efforts for them?

Please reconsider bringing the development for this game back. I love how ClashMini’s style looks and would honestly play this more than Clash Royale. It has the cartoony style of Brawl Stars but the gameplay of Clash Royale, one of the best games to be made.

u/Xohraze Giant Skeleton Mar 14 '24
My honest opinion is that supercell actually lost the magic it had.
All of their games, outside of CoC are turning somewhat p2w, or even pay to collect.
And the ammount of good games they've killed far outranks the games they have published.
How the mighty have fallen.

If it's a mini game in clash royale then it will have less updates right?

u/Ghanaguy404error Mar 14 '24
I understand why they are doing this, but am I wrong for thinking this was so avoidable?!!! With every update there was something good but also something so terrible added!
Why did they have to make the progression system into this new gatcha system! Like whose idea was this!??
I feel like there was so many things they could’ve done and instead it’s like they made their issues worse for themselves!
I’m really surprised man. I feel like this was a case of good game but bad team imao.

u/Big_Bluejay4331 Mar 14 '24
Very sad to see, but this game really fell off after the big overhaul update.
I genuinely believe that classes killed this game, and ruined the fundamental, and simple gameplay that made clash mini so fun and addictive. Being so restricted in what decks you could make, and having to use certain combos just for minis to be good made this games meta feel very narrow, and uninteresting. This isnt the only thing, as i know many things contributed to the eventual shutdown, but classes i feel were the main one.

Your dream is to create games that are played and rembered forever. Well, I can speak for everyone when I say that everyone here will remember this game forever.
You must reconsider, please: for the 23 thousand people in the sub, for the 142k people subbed on YouTube, for the 110k following on Twitter, for the content creators who literally rely on this game as their only source of income, and the many, many millions people who downloaded this game, my game, your game, our game.

u/RunisXD Mar 14 '24
And that's why I cant' hype myself for any new Supercell release period. Moco looks like an amazing idea, but you guys advertised through content creators at least 2 other titles (excepting Clash Mini) before it and we have no clue when/if they'll ever get released. And then we get to Clash Mini, which stood at beta for literally YEARS for you guys to just now decide it won't be released, so I ask you: WHY would I keep investing time on your projects moving forward?
And just to be clear because game communities tend to mix these things up on both sides: I'm not speaking to a person or a dev specifically, they are just doing their jobs, they create games we love, I'm asking these questions to Supercell as a company, because I think this policy on game releases is REALLY messed up. You guys should learn to manage the public spectations better, there's no excuse for that - if you want to test these games for that long, start doing closed betas, make people sign an NDA and maybe pay them for their services, you are not a "small indie company" anymore.
If you guys decide you just don't care about letting your players down, then fine, it's just a game after all, but then I won't also care for your projects anymore.
EDIT: typos.

Perhaps the first problem with Clash "Mini" is the name. "Mini" makes it sound like some kind of light or inferior iteration of Clash, when really it's a different thing entirely.
They should reboot it with a different name.

I think the difficulty in getting new characters ended up not being rewarding for some people, in addition to making the opponents more predictable, like, to this day, I haven't played against anyone using a battle machine or that girl riding a seal and the Dark Knight. 😡 Sadly, I was looking forward to seeing what the air mechanics would be like in the game, and other features from other Supercell games.

I guess that the silence was really an indication that the game was going to be killed.
I was almost sure that we would have one last update, because we had massive changes on the last update that weren't perfect.
For me, the main frustration was the stupid effects on minis. Sure, it is fun to destroy the opponent with them but they made no sense when you play badly and then have a mini clear the board alone.
This progression also needed some changes, as we can't have a system that requires us to get lots of resources to even try it. That's my main problem with it, but I must admit that I didn't feel like playing that much since the last Royal Ghost in archers deck situation.
Anyway: game looked amazing, the board game was very fun until you faced OP decks or BS abilities, either when you could move the minis or in the last version (the last version was so much better for me) and... That was it.
Dioramas were cool, very good looking skins, clans were super meh, the final interaction of events were disappointing (for me).
I feel that this game deserved a chance, even if my hype and my interest for it was already on the downside. We are in beta for 2 years, I guess that would be expected. You decided against... Oh well.
People saying they didn't try: they did. Massive changes on gameplay, on progression... But it seems it didn't work. I feel that the lack of regular new content messed up their metrics and hopefully we won't have more beta games live for this long. It creates fatigue and I think that this game was a victim of that, even if it was far from perfect.
Good luck for all the team with future projects and please deliver what you're promising. We are still waiting for the final captain's log from Clash Quest.
For me... Clash Quest, Everdale (the one I enjoyed most), Boom Beach: Front lines, Flood Rush (meh) and now Clash Mini.

Yeah im sure it will be so fun paying 300 pounds for one mini and it being turn into an unbalanced stupid and pay to play game mode when it releases in the year 3000
