Supercell, the mobile game company behind Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, normally likes to keep its game announcements close to its chest. But today, it dropped a trailer revealing a whopping three in-progress mobile games, all set in the Clash universe.

One of these is Clash Mini, a mobile board game that uses miniatures (hence the name) of classic Clash characters. The second, Clash Heroes, is a top-down action-adventure game that gives off light-hearted Diablo vibes.

That last part is key - we want to offer new ways of playing Clash and hope these games add on to your current gaming experience. Of course, there’s a chance you might not like these games - and that’s okay, it’s all good. We totally understand these are very different from Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.
