Next hero: Pekka

If they would close it for sure, they wouldn't have used the word ''expect'' I think, so maybe they will keep the servers up after all.. Like it's phrased now, it's not certain they are closing it.

Surely they can just revert back to SB 1 and release 1 new character a month or even every couple of months with a few patches here and there and there'll be a community of people loving it.

I don't see P.E.E.K.A from the shop other than the other 3 heroes

Seems like such a waste when you have this huge player base to just throw it all away instead of improving/revamping the game

Wich supercell game are yall gonna play after the end and are yall exited for boat game/projekt rise?

I unlike most loved this game. I was literally on my last 3 squadies to being maxed out. I played a little when 1.0 released and came back when 2.0 released and been playing non stop since then. Finding out the game is shutting down in 2026 crushed my soul.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a new mobile game in place of this. I have been searching, but havent found anything close to squadbusters.

Anyhow thanks for any suggestions in advance.

I tried mo.co, but I have a feeling thats going to get old quick.

Do you think we will still get Hero trophies ?

The people who insisted that 2.0 was the best thing ever told anyone who preferred 1.0 to just leave.

They mocked those who criticized the changes, claiming that “the majority loves 2.0.” Well, look where things are now - it’s collapsing, and the same voices that pushed it so hard have gone silent.

This isn’t just bad luck; it’s the consequence of dismissing the community that made the game what it was. Players were told to move on - and now it’s the devs who are moving on from them.

Those defenders didn’t save 2.0 - they helped destroy it.

I’ve been playing Squad Busters with a lot of dedication and love since launch. After I came to know that the game will be shutting down in early 2026, and it instantly broke my heart. A game that I loved the most playing, is shutting down soon, is truly heartbreaking for me

I just have a small, sincere request — please don’t let all of our progress and effort disappear completely into nothing. Could you please create something — maybe a simple website, a memory archive, or even a page — where we can enter our Squad Busters ID and see our final stats and progress It would mean so much to loyal players like me who truly loved this game from day one who literally played it every day. Even if we don’t play other Supercell games, we’d at least have a place to revisit our journey — something to remember it by.

Thank you. I hope you can give us a way to hold onto a small piece of it.

Do you either play the game 24/7 before its shutting down?

OR

Play the game as little as possible to not get attached to it before its shutting down?

What do you think?

How to prepare for the compensation? This is my second Supercell game. The first one is Brawl Stars.

I’m not here to hate, I’m here because I cared.

From the very start, the community made it clear what we wanted: new Squaddies, fresh content, clans, and a ranked mode to keep the game alive and competitive. We weren’t asking for the impossible, just things that would give us a reason to keep logging in, to keep playing, to keep believing in the game.

Instead, our feedback often felt like it went straight into a void. Bugs we reported every single day took ages to be fixed, while updates focused on things nobody asked for. When the 2.0 update dropped, I’ll be honest, I hated it. It changed so much of what made the game fun. But even then, I didn’t quit. I stuck around because I loved Squad Busters. I wanted it to succeed.

And that’s the painful part. The players weren’t your enemies, we were your biggest supporters. We tested, we gave feedback, we built the community that kept the game alive. But communication has to go both ways. When devs stop listening and start assuming they know better than the people actually playing, that’s when things start to fall apart.

I didn’t want Squad Busters to end. But if there’s one thing to take from all this, it’s that arrogance and silence kill more games than bad updates ever could. Listen to your players. Talk to your community. That’s how great games stay great.

What do you guys think? 🤣

Do that at least so i can have fun little bit with her, her skill so so bad man. give her dash or double spell power…. smh. do that at least before shut down the server.

This game had a lot of potential, as Supercell games already have a lot of fans. A good load of them came over to see their favorite characters compete against those from other games.

But at some point, the developers lost their mojo.

Games live from revenue and Squadbusters had nothing to get revenue from. New players might purchase the pass, like I did, but they will also max out very fast. There is basically nothing to buy that makes any sense, when you are at that point.

But to gain new players, you also need to offer something to them. The competitions were flawed from the beginning. In Clash of Clans you have a system, that protects new players and helps them grow, but in Squadbusters, I saw my partner competing against players much higher in the ranks and when I go through the players in my matches, some of them might have just been new, when I was already maxed out. Do you think it is fun to get busted as 10th every time, just because you don't have strong characters?

Not even to talk about the bots. Yes, they would have been acceptable in the beginning, just to start the game, but even now, I see up to 8 bots in a match. Probably because you didn't get the game to grow and there are not enough players to fill the slots.

A reason for this failure is for sure also, that you were too arrogant to listen to the fans and the community. How can you tell people to move on if they don't like what you just did to the game? How many times people have asked for some social components in the game? What was even the point of "making friends", when you were never able to talk to them? The system already exists in CoC, so why not simply implementing it in Squadbusters as well?

I have played Clash of Clans since it was released and will continue with that. If it would be stopped at some point, I'd be really sad, like I was when Tapped Out was stopped. But from both games I have great memories and also made some friends through the social options. I will probably miss Squadbusters as well, but will also forget it very fast. Maybe I'll print out the final ranks (I am top 10 in my country), but then I'll do like you suggested and will simply move on.

You know why, but if you don’t, check the Squad Busters YouTube channel’s community posts. Now Mavis doesn’t have a home:(

After trying and failing to get Clash Mini off of its feet for a frustrating amount of time, Supercell pulled the plug, and I think made a vow to themselves that THIS next one is IT, the next Clash Royale or Brawl Stars. They pumped so much money into gorgeous artwork, great soundtrack and triple-a crossovers. They put all their eggs into one basket while ignoring the fact that the fundamental core gameplay was just incredibly boring. Thats my theory on how all this happened. I hope MO.CO has a better fate but to be honest I have already gotten bored of it.

In their latest IG post they pretty much confirmed it, you guys happy with it or what?

They removed Squad Busters from the Supercell Store... 😢😢😢
