Teaser Video: 13 Confirmed

Town Hall 13 was basically confirmed on a video teaser on YouTube. Here are allthe hints they gave us:

Town Hall 13

There were already some speculation about a new Town Hall level coming this Christmas. Darian, Clash of Clans community manager already said the Christmas update will be massive and with new "end game" content. On today's teaser, the new Town Hall level was basically confirmed. Well, it's pretty clear that the Town Hall 13 is now coming.

New Hero

It also got pretty clear we can expect a new Hero too, as we can see on this image.

Taking a closer look we can clearly see that there is a new character here. Wearing a blue shirt and a gray belt, it's someone new. Is he a new Hero?

Secret Building

Here we can see a new secret building. What can it be?

Flying Object

If we had not enough mystery yet, let's take a closer look on this Hog image:

Yes, it's a new flying object. New troop? New Siege Machine?

Release Date

The number 13 is so symbolic on this teaser that it seems like the update is coming on December 13th too. If you take a closer look this last image says December 13. But also notice the "THIS", or maybe "TH15", meaning the update might come on December 15th.

However, December 13th is a Friday and 15th a Sunday. We never get updates on Fridays or Weekends because the App Store is closed on weekends, so it makes nearly impossible to fix eventual bugs until Monday.

Rumors: Christmas Update

Darian, Clash of Clans Community Manager, said on a YouTube Interview that the Christmas update should bring some features long we've been waiting for a long time, new levels and balancing. It might be Town Hall 13, but it's not confirmed.

There will be a lot of new "end game" content for the maxed out players on the Xmas update. One of the challenges they are working on a fix is what max out players can do with all resources they are getting from Season Challenges and can't use. All that Gold sits there forever and it's useless.

Rumor: Town Hall 13

Town Hall 13 is rumored to be added on the game this year, but it's completely ruled out for the October update because the Clash of Clans World Championship Finals will happen on the end of October, and a new TH now would completely change the gameplay.

However, we have another update coming this year, the Xmas update. On a Reedit AMA the Community Manager Darian talked about the game future:

Q: Will TH13 be coming this year?

A: It's inevitable that this question will pop up. We have two more updates planned for the rest of the year. While we don't generally announce major updates like a new TH until we're ready to announce it, we have updates planned for mid- to late-autumn and one more for the end of the year.

Since we have our ESL World Finals at the end of October, we won't introduce a new Town Hall level before the ESL Finals have completed as introducing a new TH level would throw the entire competition into disarray. Plus we would want competitors to have had the chance to max out their bases before competing with them.

With that said, it took us 2.5 years to introduce TH12 after the release of TH11. As we've been saying, we don't want the same gap of time in between TH12 and TH13.

It's not giving anything away by saying that there will be a TH13 at some point. While this is not a hard commitment to timelines, we would like to release a new TH level every 18 months or so. That's not a guarantee that's when a new TH will arrive, but just a guideline of how frequent we'd like new content of that scale to be released.

We have a pretty big update slated for the end of the year. Feel free to speculate, or try to read between the lines if you will, but it's going to be a friggin' massive update with some really cool new features

Here is the complete interview.
