Just Like A Phoenix! Supercell Announces Project R.I.S.E. From The Ashes Of Clash Heroes

Finnish game developer Supercell has made a surprising announcement: after shutting down their RPG, Clash Heroes, they're reviving it—but with a significant twist. The new project, titled Project R.I.S.E., will be a social action RPG roguelite set within the familiar Clash universe.

The Full Story:

Supercell confirmed the cancellation of Clash Heroes, echoing the fate of Clash Mini. However, instead of abandoning the concept entirely, they've reimagined it as Project R.I.S.E. This new iteration shifts the focus to multiplayer action RPG gameplay.

Supercell's announcement video features game lead Julien Le Cadre, who candidly stated, “Clash Heroes is dead. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Project R.I.S.E. is still a Clash game, and the even better news is that it’s now a multiplayer-focused action RPG.”

For more details, watch the official announcement video:

Project R.I.S.E. will share some similarities with Clash Heroes but is a completely new development. Players will team up in groups of three to conquer The Tower, a mysterious location. Each gameplay session takes place on a different floor, with the objective of reaching the highest level possible. Unlike its predecessor, the emphasis is on cooperative play with diverse characters, rather than solo PvE dungeon crawling.

Currently in pre-alpha, Project R.I.S.E. is scheduled for its first playtest in early July 2024. Interested players can register on the official website for a chance to participate.
