Supercell New GamesThis is a dedicated environment for building from zero and shaped around a core belief: the best developers don’t need more direction, they need more freedom and fewer barriers. This is where games get the space they need to become cultural phenomenons.
Players are waiting for your vision and ambition to build the next forever game a.k.a. the best work of your career. We back this up with creative and operational autonomy, and the infrastructure, capital, and experience needed to take a game from an idea to global scale.
This is not for everyone. Building towards a billion-dollar game is going to be hard. But let's not kid ourselves: it should also be fun.
You build the rocket. We bring the launchpad.
