    Netflix and Supercell partner for Clash of Clans animated series

    MUMBAI: Netflix is about to turn your village raid into a full-blown series binge. The streamer has teamed up with mobile gaming giant Supercell to bring Clash, an animated series based on the runaway hits Clash of Clans and Clash Royale. No, this isn’t a drill—nor is it a poorly-timed Hog Rider charge.

    Currently in pre-production, Clash will be helmed by Fletcher Moules, the wizard behind Supercell’s viral YouTube shorts. With Moules as showrunner and Ron Weiner (of Silicon Valley, 30 Rock and Futurama fame) penning the scripts, the show promises a blend of explosive action, tongue-in-cheek humour, and yes—immaculate Barbarian moustaches. Vancouver-based Icon Creative Studio is handling animation duties.

    The storyline? Classic underdog chaos. A plucky but clueless barbarian finds himself forced to rally a band of misfits—wizards, archers, and goblins galore—to protect their village while navigating the hilariously absurd politics of war.

    Supercell  head of film & TV Curtis Lelash said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and this creative team to bring the world of Clash to life. Think epic battles, immaculate Barbarian mustaches, and the kind of humor our players know and love. They’ve been asking for a Clash series forever, and we’re beyond excited to finally say: it’s happening!”

    Netflix’s veep of animation series John Derderian added: “Clash has been a global gaming phenomenon for over a decade—filled with humor, action and unforgettable characters perfect for an animated series adaptation. Working with the incredible team at Supercell, Fletcher Moules and Ron Weiner, we’re bringing all the fun, chaos and spirit of the world of Clash to life in a whole new way. We can’t wait for fans—old and new—to experience the mayhem.”

    With over four billion downloads and 180 billion hours of gameplay under its belt, the Clash universe isn’t just mobile—it’s momentous. Netflix has a track record of turning fan favourites into cult classics (Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai, Sonic Prime), and this latest drop could well be its next tower-toppler.

    No release date yet, but fans are already hoarding hype like Dark Elixir. One thing’s for sure: mobile mayhem just levelled up.

    WWE superstars to enter Clash of Clans through April

    MUMBAI: WWE and Supercell’s Clash of Clans are throwing down the gauntlet, announcing a partnership that’s set to turn April into a digital wrestling ring. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, The Undertaker, Bianca Belair, and a posse of other WWE heavyweights are leaping into the Clash of Clans arena, reimagined as iconic in-game characters.

    This isn’t just a fleeting cameo; it’s a full-blown invasion. Clash of Clans is getting a WWE makeover, complete with themed environments, gameplay events, cosmetics, and Easter Eggs that pay homage to WWE’s rich legacy. And leading the charge is Rhodes, a self-confessed Clash of Clans aficionado, who’s being reborn as the Barbarian King.

    Rhodes, under his OverlordRhodes  player handle, isn’t just a digital character; he’s a digital despot. He stars in the live-action launch video, showcasing a gameplay style built on villainous destruction and a healthy dose of digital domination.

    The WWE Superstar roster getting the Clash of Clans treatment includes:

    * Rhea Ripley as Archer Queen
    * The Undertaker as Grand Warden
    * Bianca Belair as Royal Champion
    * Rey Mysterio as Minion Prince
    * Kane as P.E.K.K.A
    * Becky Lynch as Valkyrie
    * Jey Uso as Thrower

    “I’ve spent years building my legacy in WWE, but it’s time for fans to know where I’ve landed most of my victories, in Clash of Clans,” Rhodes declared. “As OverlordRhodes, I don’t defend, I conquer. Villages will fall, and any opposition will be crushed under my command. This isn’t about playing fair in the ring, it’s about ruling the battlefield. Just like at WrestleMania 41, I’m stepping in with one goal – absolute victory. I’ve waited a long time for this moment, and now that I’ve arrived, there’s no stopping me.”

    Supercell head of live game Sara Bach revealed, “When the game team found out Cody Rhodes and other Superstars were long-time Clash of Clans fans, they didn’t hesitate to reach out to WWE. This partnership in Clash of Clans is on a scale we’ve never created before – from the in-game event reaching tens of millions of players, to WrestleMania 41 and our Clash of Clans match as a first-of-its-kind event on the biggest stage.”

    In essence, WWE and Clash of Clans are teaming up for a digital rumble that’s set to shake up both worlds. It’s a cross-promotional knockout, promising a month of mayhem and a WrestleMania 41 showdown that’s sure to be a digital spectacle.
