Supercell Acquires Space Ape Games
Supercell Acquires Space Ape, Launching London Office by Spring 2025
Supercell has completed its acquisition of Space Ape, which will become the company’s first official London office by spring 2025. The Finnish developer confirmed, “Space Ape will now be part of Supercell rather than operate independently.”
‘Supercell London’ will join existing studios in Helsinki, Shanghai, San Francisco, and Seoul. Supercell previously acquired 62%, a majority stake in Space Ape in 2017, increasing it to 75% in 2022 with a $37 million investment.
Currently, Space Ape is collaborating with Supercell on Hay Day and previously launched Boom Beach Frontlines, a spin-off discontinued in 2022.
Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen expressed excitement over the move, saying, “By joining forces with Space Ape, we’re strengthening our teams and expanding our mission to create memorable games people love to play for years.”
Space Ape CEO John Earner added, “This partnership marks a new chapter in our journey. We’re proud of our contributions and excited to evolve as part of Supercell.”
Supercell’s full integration of Space Ape cements its commitment to establishing a strong London presence.
