After a flurry of releases over the past couple of years, it seems the lull in new games from hit developer Supercell is finally over. Their latest offering, Boat Game, has debuted with a surreal trailer and closed alpha, sparking curiosity and excitement among gamers.
From the limited footage available, Boat Game appears to blend seaborne sailing with third-person shooting, reminiscent of popular titles like Fortnite. Yet, the trailer's surreal imagery hints that there might be more to the game than meets the eye. While it's unlikely that Boat Game will turn out to be a horror game in disguise, it's intriguing to consider if these surreal elements are more than just marketing flair. Even if they are just for show, the game still promises a vibrant battle royale-style third-person shooter with colorful action.
Boats! Supercell's venture into the third-person shooter genre is a bold move, and the mix of land and sea gameplay suggests players might be able to switch between environments or enjoy two distinct modes. It's also noteworthy that Boat Game marks Supercell's first announcement exclusively via Bluesky, rather than their usual platform, Twitter.
Speculation is rife with every new Supercell launch, and Boat Game is no exception. Fans are hopeful that this game will have a longer lifespan than some of Supercell's previous releases that didn't quite make the cut.
