Clash of Clans game developer Supercell has revealed the planned upgrades for its mega-hit strategy mobile game title but stopped short of detailing the expansions' actual release date. But one thing is certain, unpacking of the new COC features will happen within the 2015 holiday season.
The just concluded ClashCon provided hints that clues will be given out at regular pace prior to the COC update rollout. Gotta Be Mobile said in a report that Supercell will likely push out the entire package by middle of November, adding that the next two weeks will marked by sneak peeks of the things to come.
For its part, the Android Guys reported that the latest arrival should be early December as Supercell is likely more inclined to treat the millions of COC fans to the fresh additions in time for the 2015 Christmas season. "We can assume it (the updates) will land between Halloween and Christmas," the report said, adding that the likelihood of a Holiday-inspired season cannot be discounted.
So the wait for the next big COC update begins and here are six of the important things to expect:
Map size bumped to 44 x 44 translates to bigger base, different gameplay
Town Hall 11 has been uncloaked (Android Guys said it is ugly) and alongside the revelation, Supercell said that the COC map size will be stretched to 44 x 44. This literally means that gamers will have a larger area to cover, which should serve as a game-changer, plus the promise of building a bigger clan base.
Who is the third hero?
The King and Queen will be joined by a third hero that for now remains wrapped in mystery. But the consensus points to a Wizard, whose main prowess is the ability to tussle while upgrading.
New defense unit
With the game maps and characters set for upgrades, there's got to be a new defense unit. "There's a brand new defensive unit or building similar to the Inferno tower, but it does something pretty awesome, and bizarre. It's like a mortar mixed with an inferno tower," GBM said on its report.
Fresh Dark Troops and a Fourth Spell
Clash of Clans players can look forward to the introduction of new Dark Troops and it would not be surprising to see the arrival of a Fourth Spell. What exactly are these should be reason to excite the COC community in the build up to the update touchdown in the weeks ahead.
Up by another level
It is by default that the level of game will increase across the board with the upcoming update so COC gamers are expecting the Barbarians to jump to Level 8. Likely to be packaged with the jump are Level 6 Hog Riders and Level 3 Witches, GBM said on its report.
Single Player maps and Daily Quests
Now the Clash of Clans expansion will gain more texture if Daily Quests and Single Player maps will be part of the deal - the update that will soon drop, that is. The Quests should keep COC gamers busy while the Single Player is the stage for upping players' skill.
