Clash of Clans Halloween update will be finally released on 22 October 2014 according to a post on Facebook. The new Halloween update will see the addition of new features in Clash of Clans, the strategy game for mobile platforms.
Supercell asked players to "Get ready for the update," on its official Facebook page. Over the past few days, the company has been revealing the features that were eventually going to be a part of the update via Sneak Peek videos.
Halloween Update for Clash of Clans will bring a host new features like the Skeleton Trap (a permanent feature), limited time - Halloween Headstone and 1-gem Spell Factory boost. The update will also include improvements made for Clan Search, Boost, Clan Setting sand interface related upgrades.
Fans have been complaining to Supercell to give them more Loot and the company seems to have listened and now players will be able to collect a higher War Loot from victory, defeat and draw. It has also increased League bonus. There will also be a new Mortar when the Town Hall reaches to Level 8.
However, players have commented on the Facebook page of issues with the Google Services. Google has said on its Apps Status Dashboard that it is currently investigating the issues.
It must be noted that Supercell's new Skeleton Trap will be though a weak, but helpful defense mechanism by the company. It has the ability to take on both air and ground units. It distracts the attacking units taking away some precious raid time for the raider. Go below to find a video on Skeleton Trap shared by the developer.
