Recent "Clash of Clans" news revealed that the massive update that was supposed to release in September 2016 has been postponed to October.

One studio member said that the "Clash of Clans" patch will be introduced if everything goes according to plan. Fans were expecting more news at supposed ClashCon, but the event was cancelled.
Recently, the "Clash of Clans" game servers have been updated, allegedly to prepare for the next update, with the game patch bringing several new features and in-game balances.

The patch will include the Clan Challenge, where players can send friendly war requests to any clan online. There will reportedly be a Town Hall 12, which means that more structure and unit upgrades will become available accordingly. If Town Hall 12 does not appear in the next "Clash of Clans" update, it will most likely arrive within the next 12 months.
