Beta to Global: A great journey!
Supercell announced the beta launch of Brawl Stars on July 14, 2017, for iOS only. The following day, it was launched in the Canadian App Store. It was a beta launch unlike any other. Mobile gamers had never played a game like it before. It blew up on the App Store on the first day itself. Brawl Stars took mobile gaming by storm and became one of the best games ever introduced to the platform.
When Brawl Stars released, it was playable only in portrait mode. Instead of the joystick to move that it has today, it used tapping to move on release. It also had a Western theme to it, 15 OG Brawlers, and only 4 game-modes: Smash N Grab(Now called Gem Grab), Bounty, Heist (With only one safe, and one team had to defend while the other had to attack) and Solo Showdown (No Duos). It got its first update after a week or so of beta launch, and it introduced Piper as an epic Brawler. On Sept. 4, 2017, the devs added Brawl Ball as the new game-mode, and Mythic, Super Rare rarities. On December 5, 2017, the UI was changed, Western theme was removed, and Darryl( New Brawler), ticketed game-modes and Star Powers were introduced. March 9, 2018, saw Portrait mode replaced by Landscape, the introduction of auto-aim, removal of tap-to-move.
In the May 2018 update, Frank and Penny released, along with Heist 2.0( 2 safes instead of one), Trophy Road with rewards, Duo Showdown, and new UI. The game finally released on Android devices on June 26, 2018, in the soft launch countries. Just before going global, Brawl Stars underwent a complete make-over: Introduction of 3D environment, new Brawler Leon, new Brawler models, new UI, a major Darryl rework, and a lot of new skins.
