Brawl Stars “Rico in Love” Trailer by Psyop

The latest in Psyop’s series of CG trailers for Supercell’s multiplayer online game Brawl Stars finds Super Rare (and not terribly bright) Brawler Rico falling hard for a candy vending machine.

Directed by Kylie Matulick, Todd Mueller, and Kyle Cassidy, the spot follows a string of recent comedy and character-centric work for Finland’s Supercell including this holiday spot for Clash of Clans and this baking lesson from Epic Brawler Piper.
