Supercell, the development studio behind Clash of Clans, has released a public beta for its latest project, Everdale, a fantasy farming game. As Clash fans are well aware, the crew at Supercell has kept busy over the course of the last several months, with three new Clash games in development - Clash Quest, Clash Mini, and Clash Heroes. The studio isn't only exploring new horizons in that particular universe, though.
Production began on Everdale quite some time ago, then received an alpha version under the name of Valleys & Villages in Fall 2020. Supercell used the data gathered from the alpha to further improve the experience, making the necessary changes based on player feedback. After months of development and about half a dozen updates, Everdale is officially ready to enter the spotlight on mobile platforms.
Today, Supercell formally announced Everdale as its next project, which takes the form of a fantasy farming title. A builder game set in a brand-new fantasy universe, Everdale aims to offer a relaxing experience minus the stressors of looting, combat, and all the rest. The game takes the genre in a fresh direction, allowing users to team up, as well as see each other's work in real-time. "It is also a social game right from the start," Supercell explained in a press release, noting that players can explore "the same seamless world" as a community. A beta for Everdale is available to download now in select regions.
As of now, there are still several questions left unanswered about Supercell's latest ambitious endeavor. A release date for the full launch counts as the most notable of said unanswered questions. More details will likely surface throughout the beta period, though.
A Finnish studio founded several years ago in early 2010, Supercell released a browser game, Zombies Online, and a handful of mobile titles before making a name for itself with the rollout of 2012's Clash of Clans. The success of the online strategy experience launched Supercell into the stratosphere, eventually culminating in a buyout from Chinese conglomerate Tencent, which purchased the Finnish company for a whopping $8.6 billion. Clearly, Supercell's hold on the market won't soon come to an end.
Supercell's Everdale is in beta now for a select number of regions.
