Clash of Clans General Manager Stuart McGaw recently held an AMA session on Reddit, spilling the tea on everything from the upcoming June update to the mysterious Town Hall 17. Here’s a rundown of the key takeaways for you to strategize your next attack.

The June update is going to bring a new “Hard Mode” for friendly challenges and wars.

But fear not, this will also free up space for exciting new defenses in future Town Halls.

While details are still under wraps, Town Hall 17 is on the horizon. The team is considering merging the Eagle Artillery into the Town Hall, marking a departure from Inferno Beams.

The development team is aware that upgrade timers can feel like a drag for active players. They’re working on introducing new systems that will add more to the game and keep you busy. This might take some time, but it means shorter timers and more to do in the long run.

Supercell also recognizes the importance of a healthy game life. They don’t want Clash to feel like a chore, so timers and wait times will
