Ilkka Paananen, CEO of Supercell, stresses the importance of innovation in the mobile gaming industry. Amidst the success of titles like Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars, he advocates for taking bigger risks to create new gaming experiences. With 60% of mobile game time spent on older titles, Paananen believes the industry must address the challenges posed by competition not just from other games, but from social media and streaming platforms. Investment in new games has increased, reflecting the need to evolve in a changing market where game development costs have risen significantly.
"We need to take bigger risks. We have to create new kinds of game experiences. The competition for people's free time is so much tougher these days."
"We have a lot of very, very talented, ambitious teams who are trying to reimagine what mobile games might look like in, say, 2030, and I wish I had the answer."
