Freemium massive multiplayer online game "Clash of Clans" gamers are expecting an update this October. What stirs excitement is possibility of mining gems for free or introduction of gameplay.
To recall, game developer Supercell posted on Twitter that "Clash of Clans" server will undergo maintenance. However, gamers did not detect any changes, interruption nor any notice released since late September. This made gamers believe that server update was already loaded. It is noteworthy though that gameplay remains the same and there is no confirmation nor release note available.
Then fueling the speculations is a Reddit user that observed "Clash of Clans" server changed into version 8.41. If this is indeed indication of upgrade, gamers are expecting that mobile app itself will soon change. First half of October is the expected release for this update, JBH News reported.
"Clash of Clans" received an update in August but gamers expressed irritations because there were not much changes. With this dilemma, Supercell is pressured to cook better and bigger update on both server and the app to appease disgruntled players. Again, October is more likely since no update made it after Sept 21 when maintenance announcement was made, News SJS said.
Meanwhile, "Clash of Clans" developer will give away TH 11 accounts to exceptional players in preparation for Oct 8 live streaming event where several teams of five will compete. Supercell dubbed the event "Ground versus Air." As the event header suggests, this is going to be between clans specializing in ground and aerial skirmishes.
Then in another related development, flagship "Clash Royale" surprised mobile gaming community by edging "Pokemon GO" in the mobile gaming leaders chart. Supercell made the stunner after releasing an update for this game. Consider this as another reason to hope that Supercell will aim for same effect when "Clash of Clans" update arrives.
