Boom Beach is a success
Now we can say it: Boom Beach Frontlines has managed to conquer the Italian market. Despite being in a soft launch phase, in fact, the mobile game developed by Space Ape Games in collaboration with Supercell managed to immediately enter the Google Play rankings, positioning itself almost immediately at the first position among the best-selling games, just below the direct competitors.Italy was one of the countries that welcomed the launch of the game very positively. As communicated by the developers, Boom Beach Frontlines was the most downloaded of the new 19 regions that welcomed it in their respective mobile stores. The numbers speak for themselves: in our country the title had the honor of having been downloaded by 400,000 people, an important figure that projects Italy among the nations with the most players in the world.
The success of Boom Beach Frontlines is not measured only by download data, but also by popularity among content creators. On YouTube, considering only the month of July, hundreds and hundreds of videos are available, made by both influencers with thousands and thousands of views up to the smallest ones, belonging to the group of growing personalities. Among the best known we find CiccioGamer89, Tuberanza, Kekkobomba and many others. All these elements are a clear sign of how a decidedly remarkable curiosity has developed around the brand, which could push downloads even further over the next few months. Here, however, the developers will play a key role.
Like any self-respecting game, Boom Beach Frontlines will in fact follow a substantial program of updates, aimed at introducing new elements within it. On the other hand, the developers themselves warn us: the title is still in a soft launch phase, Space Ape Games is aware that there is a lot of room for maneuver for new content; among the rumors, we report a new game mode, which could arrive in the next update. Furthermore, every month a new Beach Pass is planned containing a new troop, without forgetting the regular updates, which will continue to improve the stability of the game and which will be designed taking into account the feedback of the community.
Clearly we are only at the beginning. Space Ape Games will continue to update the game. The road map is obviously very simple: the more updates there are, the more community support and expansion of the game can be. If all these elements work properly, Boom Beach Frontlines will be ready to become a title available worldwide.
Boom Beach Frontlines is available from August 3, 2022 on iOS and Android. To find out more about the type of game and how the Beach Pass works, you can visit this address.
