There is no doubt that Supercell's "Clash of Clans" is among the most popular online games last year. Despite its success, the developers are not slowing down as they venture into building up another game that might experience the same success. According to reports, Supercell released a new game, "Clash Royale."

So, what is "Clash Royale?" In their official site for the new game, Supercell wrote "Clash Royale is a dueling and card collection games set in the Clash Universe. This new game brings together the royal family with your favorite Clash of Clans troops, sometimes with a few new twists."

It is another real-time, head-to-head battle that will surely capture every gamer's heart. For those who wanted to get their hands on "Clash Royale" which seems to be a follow-up to their monster hit game "Clash of Clans," Supercell already made a soft launch.

In the same post, the team announced that the soft launch began on Jan. 4 in selected countries. According to Gadgets 360, "Clash Royale" is available for iOS in Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and New Zealand. The report stressed that Supercell wants to know how "Clash of Clans" hardcore fans would play "Clash Royale."

Although the new game appears to be like "Clash of Clans 2," the team stressed that "Clash Royale" is a separate game and that another team is working on it. In their FAQ forum, Supercell explained that a number of the founding members of "Clash Royale" worked on the "Clash of Clans" game. "However, there are currently no developers working on both Clash Royale and Clash of Clans. We plan to keep these teams separate going forward."

For those wondering whether the characters from "Clash Royale" will appear in "Clash of Clans" or vice versa, Supercell did not confirm nor deny it. The team made it clear that they will be pursuing both games with separate teams. However, they hinted that they are excited by the opportunities to expand and build the Clash Universe.

Here are the different features of "Clash Royale:"

• Earn chests to unlock rewards, collect powerful card and upgrade existing ones
• Destroy opponent's tower and win Crowns to gain epic Crown chests
• Build and upgrade your card collection
• Construct your ultimate Battle Deck to defeat opponents
• Progress through multiple arenas
• Form a Clan to share cards and build battle community
• Challenge Clan mates and friends in a private duel
• Learn different strategies by watching the best battle on TV Royale

Per The Verge, Supercell is also behind the popular games "Hay Day" and "Boom Beach." However, the team's biggest hit is "Clash of Clans."

Will "Clash Royale" achieve the same success as "Clash of Clans" does? Will the game be available soon? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
