Supercell Unveils Project R.I.S.E., Rising from Clash Heroes' Embers

Finnish game developer Supercell has surprised fans with a twist on their cancelled RPG, Clash Heroes. Instead of simply abandoning the project, they've announced a revitalized version: Project R.I.S.E. This isn't a simple re-release; it's a completely new social action RPG roguelite built within the familiar Clash universe.

Supercell's announcement video directly addresses the cancellation of Clash Heroes, framing Project R.I.S.E. as a fresh start. Game lead Julien Le Cadre emphasizes the shift towards a multiplayer-focused experience. The video details the new direction, highlighting the cooperative gameplay.

Project R.I.S.E. retains the core Clash universe but offers a distinct gameplay experience. Players will team up in groups of three to ascend a mysterious Tower, with each session exploring a different floor. The emphasis is on cooperative play and diverse character interactions, diverging from Clash Heroes' primarily PvE focus.

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. This unexpected development promises a unique take on the Clash formula, offering a fresh, collaborative adventure.
