Summary

  • Clash of Clans fan creates stunning PS5 concept video showcasing potential transition to modern consoles
  • Concept video features Barbarian King as playable character, highlighting game's signature elements
  • Fans express desire for AAA RPG version of Clash of Clans on consoles in the future

A Clash of Clans fan has shown off a polished concept video that imagines what the game might look like if it were released on PlayStation 5. The smash-hit mobile game has become something of a global phenomenon since its debut in 2012, maintaining a massive player base and consistently ranking among the top-grossing apps on both iOS and Android. Clash of Clans has never made the move to consoles or PC and remains a mobile-only game, but its lasting popularity over more than a decade on mobile devices makes it a prime candidate for a successful transition, and it seems one talented fan has taken it upon themselves to showcase a glimpse of what could be.

Clash of Clans is known for its color-soaked, cartoon-style graphics. Its strategy-based gameplay bears many similarities to the classic Age of Empires franchise, such as gathering and managing resources, upgrading units and buildings, and launching assaults on enemy bases. The game receives regular updates and events, like the latest Clash of Clans Gold Rush Event. The ongoing support, along with its addictive gameplay, are some of the reasons fans keep coming back for more and why some even want the game to make the jump to modern consoles.

Clash of Clans announces a WWE partnership that will see many of its characters reimagined as famous wrestlers, on top of introducing other novelties.

A talented fan recently posted a concept video on their TeaserPlay YouTube channel, showcasing in stunning detail what Clash of Clans could look like as a third-person AAA RPG released on PS5. The creator noted that it was a personal concept project built entirely in Unreal Engine. It features the Barbarian King as the playable character and highlights many of the game's signature elements, such as base building and epic battles. Many commenters were impressed by how good the video looked and expressed the same desire for a non-mobile version of the game.

Talented Fan Creates Stunning Concept Video for a AAA Clash of Clans PS5 Game

For many, the Barbarian King is one of the best heroes in Clash of Clans, so it comes as no surprise that the creator chose to make him the playable character in the concept video. The video begins with a third-person camera angle showing him running into battle with his trademark sword at the ready, but it also showcases some of the game's other characters, like the Archer firing her trademark bow.

While the Barbarian King is a melee fighter who deals high damage in close-quarters combat, the Archer is a long-range unit that can deal damage from a distance. Playing as the Archer in Clash of Clans provides gamers with many benefits, such as the ability to hit troops beyond enemy walls with arrows.

The video's creator expressed their desire to see the game as a true AAA RPG for modern consoles. With plenty of massive RPG releases slated for 2025, it seems some fans agree and would like to see Clash of Clans on the schedule, if not this year, then at some point down the line.
