BAFTA has announced that Ilkka Paananen, the co-founder and CEO of Clash of Clans developer Supercell, will receive the BAFTA Fellowship at the upcoming BAFTA Game Awards on April 17.
This is the highest honor from BAFTA, and it is bestowed upon people who have “driven innovation, creativity, and positive change in the screen arts, including games, over the course of their career.”
Paananen is getting the Fellowship for his work at Supercell, which he co-founded in 2010. The studio created Clash of Clans, which is one of the most popular mobile games of all time.
