Supercell announced that Squad Busters will launch on May 29 as its first global game in over five years.

The game will be the sixth title from the Helsinki, Finland-based game studio which is majority owned by Tencent. Supercell has a reputation for killing more games than it ships out of a fanatical focus on quality — and a high bar for creating games that are memorable and generate billions in revenue.
