Grand Cru partners with Nexon, King soft launches Brick Wizard, and Clash of Clans' fifth anniversary

Supercell's Clash of Clans launched five years ago. Think about that. Can you remember what you were doing five years ago? Playing Clash of Clans for the first time, probably.

Since then it's been kept alive by a small but dedicated team at Supercell, and our chat with Senior Server Engineer Jonas Collaros on how the studio is keeping the game going is of such enormous interest to our readers that it was by far and away the most read article of the last week.

Second on our Hot Five list is the news that King has soft-launched yet another midcore game, this time a Breakout-esque title about shooting magic at bricks called Brick Wizard.

Battlejack, video ads and Moomins

Third up, Grand Cru has signed a deal with Nexon for the worldwide publishing rights to its upcoming game Battlejack, which promises to mix blackjack and card-battling.

And finally, AdColony digs into the figures behind how many people are watching video ads compared to buying IAPs, and we chat to Snowfall about putting all its eggs in the Moomin basket.
