Clash of Clans maker Supercell is opening its first North American game studio headed by industry veteran Ryan Wener.

The idea is to make games that you might not expect from Supercell, including games that run on any platform, not just mobile devices, Wener said in a blog post. Helsinki-based Supercell has been one of rarities of the mobile game industry, with hits such as Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Hay Day, Boom Beach, and Brawl Stars. Revenues in 2020 topped $1.48 billion.
