WWE and Supercell’s popular mobile game Clash of Clans,
which has amassed more than two billion lifetime downloads,
today announced a new partnership that will see a roster of
WWE Superstars headline an electrifying in and out-of-game
event throughout the month of April.
Under the new partnership, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody
Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, The Undertaker, Bianca Belair and other
WWE Superstars will be reimagined as iconic characters
inside the world of Clash of Clans, culminating in an
enhanced match sponsorship at WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant
Stadium in Las Vegas.
Fans will be able to experience the WWE Superstars in Clash
of Clans beginning Tuesday, April 1, and enjoy a host of
WWE-themed features appearing in the game throughout the
month, including themed environments, gameplay events,
cosmetics and Easter Eggs paying homage to WWE’s rich
legacy. Headlining the integration is Rhodes, who, after
nearly a decade of playing Clash of Clans and being in the
top 10 percent of players worldwide, will be reimagined in
the game as “Barbarian King.” At the same time, and under
his long-time “OverlordRhodes” player handle, Rhodes stars
in the live-action launch video and reveals a gameplay style
built on villainous destruction and domination.
Additional WWE Superstar integrations include:
Rhea Ripley as “Archer Queen”
The Undertaker as “Grand Warden”
Bianca Belair as “Royal Champion”
Rey Mysterio as “Minion Prince”
Kane as “P.E.K.K.A”
Becky Lynch as “Valkyrie”
Jey Uso as “Thrower”
“I’ve spent years building my legacy in WWE, but it’s time
for fans to know where I’ve landed most of my victories, in
Clash of Clans,” said Rhodes. “As OverlordRhodes, I don’t
defend, I conquer. Villages will fall, and any opposition
will be crushed under my command. This isn’t about playing
fair in the ring, it’s about ruling the battlefield. Just
like at WrestleMania 41, I’m stepping in with one goal –
absolute victory. I’ve waited a long time for this moment,
and now that I’ve arrived, there’s no stopping me.”
“When the game team found out Cody Rhodes and other
Superstars were long-time Clash of Clans fans, they didn’t
hesitate to reach out to WWE,” said Sara Bach, Head of Live
Games at Supercell. “This partnership in Clash of Clans is
on a scale we’ve never created before – from the in-game
event reaching tens of millions of players, to WrestleMania
41 and our Clash of Clans match as a first-of-its-kind event
on the biggest stage.”
