...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

This is a sub-page of Brawl Stars.

Regional Differences

Hmmm...
To do:
Rewrite this entire section. The Chinese release has since seen entirely new content.

Brawl Stars was released to the Chinese market on the 9th of June, 2020, during the first Brawl Pass season. With Chinese censorship regulations galore, Brawl Stars has a few regional differences between its Global and Chinese releases.

Loading Screen

The loading screen is slightly different, with the only main difference being the CADPA rating being present. This rating changes places every time a new Brawl Pass Season-related update drops.
In addition, the Chinese screenshot used for this comparison is the log-in screen for the Chinese release, which shares the same assets as the regular loading screen, only with agreement text overlapping it. Note that the Brawlywood loading screen was used for this comparison.

Box Info

When boxes were still in the game, in the Global version, you could only see probabilities of drops, while in the Chinese version, you could see probabilities, drop guarantees and a daily shop box limit of 25. Oddly enough, the Legendary Brawler drop rate cap is lower in China (0.2544% as opposed to 0.2752% on Global). Note that the Mega Box info was used for the comparison.

Lack of Creator Codes

In the Resources tab of the Shop, the Chinese version lacks any support for the Supercell Creators service, and instead shows a neat little text string saying "Warning: enjoy responsibly". This string is translated in other languages present in Global (e.g. de.csv, vi.csv and so on), however the only languages present in the Chinese version are English and Chinese.

Brawl Pass Season 9 Extension

For some unknown reason, the Brawlywood season was extended for more than one Season's worth of days, while Grom, Fang, Eve and their respective updates' Skins are nowhere to be seen. To compensate, new Quests were being added under Special Quests for players to complete. During the extension, Brawlywood's special lobby background goes unused, and uses the default background accompanied with Season 6's lobby music.

White Damage Flashing

While talking damage in the Global release will flash the screen and Brawler red, this flashing is changed to a faint white flash in the Chinese release. This was implemented due to death and pain not being permitted to be portrayed in video games released in China.

Showdown Exit Feature

In both Solo and Duo Showdown, you can return to the lobby faster in the Chinese release, only if you're in the top 3 in Solo Showdown and in the top 2 in Duo Showdown (however you have to wait for your teammate to confirm exiting the match). Exiting a match will mercilessly murder your Brawler or team in front of your eyes. This feature was implemented to combat video game addiction in China.

Various Visual Differences

To comply with the Chinese gaming market, some visual changes had to be implemented in order for the game to be greenlit - mostly just for Showdown. This caused objects such as skulls and bones to be replaced with cactuses and sprouts respectively, however the Chinese breakable cactus model would eventually get reused for Season 6's environment on both releases.

Settings Screen

Unexpectedly, Brawl Stars has different settings between its Global and Chinese releases.

Global Chinese

Global offers many languages, such as Japanese, German, French and such, however in the Chinese release you only have a choice between English and Traditional Chinese.

Links to Supercell's ToS, Privacy Policy and Parent's Guide are replaced with Tencent's variants in the Chinese release. Additionally, in the same release, the Google Play, Game Center and Supercell ID sign-in methods are absent and LINE functionality is stripped in place for the only available sign-in methods: QQ and WeChat. Location changing is also absent from the Chinese release, but strangely enough, API tokens are only present in the Chinese release.

Club Invite Methods

The only main difference in Clubs is the invite method. The Global release will let you share the invite through messaging apps and such, while the Chinese version will only let you send invites through WeChat.

Language Differences

Japanese Gem Description Counter

Like all Supercell games (most notably Clash Royale), if you switch the game's language to Japanese, you will see a Gem counter counting paid Gems (1st line), F2P-earned Gems (2nd line) and the total of Gems earned (3rd line).

Korean ToS Button

Similar to Clash Royale, changing the language to Korean makes a new button appear at the end of the Resources tab in the Shop, which redirects you to the Supercell Terms of Service webpage.
