A team of veteran Supercell developers has launched Antihero Studios, a Finnish-based game development startup with offices in Barcelona. This exciting new venture promises to shake up the multiplayer gaming landscape.
Founding Team
– CEO Brice Laville Saint-Martin (ex-Supercell creative director)
– CPO Frank Yan (ex-Brawl Stars senior game designer)
– CTO Andre Parodi (ex-King technical director)
– Game designer Hadrian Semroud (ex-Scopely, Ubisoft)

Vision and Funding
Antihero Studios aims to create “games worth sharing,” focusing on organic growth and community-driven experiences. The studio has secured funding from Sisu Game Ventures and the Finnish government.
A Reaction to Industry Trends
Laville Saint-Martin expressed disappointment with the industry’s reliance on performance marketing, citing concerns about sustainability and player engagement. Antihero Studios seeks to break this mold, prioritizing memorable gaming experiences.
Mission Statement
“Developers want to create great games, not just ones that work as ads. Marketers aim to craft memorable campaigns, not questionable ads. Ultimately, players crave games that are truly worth playing and remembering.”
With seasoned talent and a bold vision, Antihero Studios is poised to make waves in the gaming industry.
