Finnish game developer Supercell has revealed a surprising twist following the announcement of Clash Heroes' closure. Instead of abandoning the project entirely, they're resurrecting it as Project R.I.S.E., a social action RPG roguelite.
The Scoop on Project R.I.S.E.
Clash Heroes is officially cancelled. However, its core concept lives on in Project R.I.S.E., a completely rebuilt game within the Clash universe. This new title shifts the focus to multiplayer action.
Supercell's announcement video features game lead Julien Le Cadre confirming the cancellation of Clash Heroes, but highlighting the exciting shift to a multiplayer-focused action RPG.
Watch the announcement video for more details:
Project R.I.S.E. shares some DNA with Clash Heroes but is a vastly different game. It’s a social action RPG roguelite where players team up in groups of three to ascend a mysterious Tower. Each floor presents a new challenge, and the goal is to reach the highest level possible. Unlike its predecessor, the emphasis is on cooperative gameplay with diverse characters, not solo PvE dungeon crawling.
Currently in pre-alpha, Project R.I.S.E. is slated for its first playtest in early July 2024. Registration for a chance to participate is open on the official website.
