Supercell invests $5 million in U.S. indie studio Redemption Games

Supercell’s indie studio investment spree continues today with a $5 million bet on mobile game studio Redemption Games. The Carlsbad, California-based studio deal represents Helsinki-based Supercell’s first investment in a U.S. operation.

Supercell is flush with cash from billions of dollars in revenues from its mobile games such as Clash of Clans, as well as its acquisition by China’s Tencent. And while Supercell itself wants to remain small, in 2016 it decided to begin investing in promising mobile game developers. Redemption will describe its games later.
