WildBrain CPLG, one of the world’s leading entertainment, sport and brand licensing agencies, has secured a global partnership with game company, Supercell, to create the first-ever licensing program for World of Clash, their smash-hit gaming franchise. Under the partnership, WildBrain CPLG will represent global licensing rights (excluding China) to Supercell’s flagship online multiplayer strategy game, Clash of Clans, together with its hit spin-off game, Clash Royale. Supercell and WildBrain CPLG will collaborate to launch a global cross-category consumer products program aimed at fans of both games, with target categories including toys, apparel, publishing, promotions, gifting, collectibles, consumables and housewares.
Supercell’s World of Clash is one of the most successful gaming franchises in the world and has generated over four billion downloads globally, combining the appeal of fast-paced and strategic gameplay with the enjoyment of social elements. As the first game in the World of Clash franchise, the highly popular Clash of Clans online game was released in 2012 and is set in a fantasy world where the players are tasked to build their own village, train troops and battle other players’ villages. Players can connect to create clans to participate in Clan Wars together, or they can start their own clans and invite friends. Clash Royale launched in 2016 and is a real-time, online strategy game, which combines elements from collectible card games, tower defense and multiplayer battle arenas. Clash of Clans and Clash Royale continue to be amongst the most popular and successful mobile games of all time.
