Finnish mobile game giant Supercell has made a surprising announcement. Following the cancellation of their RPG, Clash Heroes, they're reviving the concept in a completely new form: Project R.I.S.E.
The Scoop on Project R.I.S.E
The news confirms earlier rumors: Clash Heroes is officially discontinued, joining Clash Mini on the shelf. However, Supercell isn't abandoning the idea entirely. Project R.I.S.E. will be a social action RPG roguelite, retaining the familiar Clash universe setting.
In a recent announcement video, game lead Julien Le Cadre stated, “Clash Heroes is dead. That’s the bad news,” he said. “The good news is that Project R.I.S.E. is still a Clash game, and the better news is that it’s now a multiplayer-focused action RPG.”
For more details, watch the announcement video below:
While sharing DNA with Clash Heroes, Project R.I.S.E. is a completely rebuilt experience. It's a social action RPG roguelite where you team up with two other players to ascend The Tower. Each playthrough explores a different floor, with the ultimate goal being to reach the highest level possible. Unlike its predecessor's focus on solo PvE dungeons, Project R.I.S.E. emphasizes cooperative gameplay and diverse character interactions.
Currently in pre-alpha, Project R.I.S.E. is slated for its first playtest in early July 2024. Interested players can register on the official website for a chance to participate.
