Clash of Clans TH16 Release Date & Details

Clash of Clans is one of the most popular mobile strategy games in the world. Players build and upgrade their own villages, train armies, and engage in strategic warfare against other players. The game's mix of resource management and tactical combat has captivated millions, making it a mobile gaming sensation. Since the game launched in 2012, the developers at Supercell have been constantly updating the game with new buildings, units and quality of life changes.

The biggest updates to Clash of Clans are whenever a new Town Hall (TH) level is added to the game.  The Town Hall is the most important building in the game. By upgrading it, you can unlock new buildings and enhance your overall gameplay. In an unlikely turn of events, Supercell has revealed the new TH16 upgrade, along with many details such as the upgrade costs, balance changes, and the release date. Here is everything you need to know:

Clash of Clans TH16 Release Date

Clash of Clans TH16 is going to release some time in December. This was confirmed by the developers in a tweet, which contained a small sneak peek trailer into how the new Town Hall is going to look like.

This means that at most, the newest Town Hall upgrade is going to be released within the next three weeks! Exciting news for Clash of Clans players.

Clash of Clans TH16 Upgrade Cost & Details

In a post within the /r/ClashofClans subreddit, one of the developers from Supercell shared a lot of exciting details about the new TH16, such as the different upgrade costs, giga inferno and upgrade levels that will be available with this update.

Here are all of the details you need to know about the new TH16 upgrade in Clash of Clans:

Town Hall 16’s nature theme is easy to see with its tree-influenced design. Even Town Hall 16’s Giga Inferno beam is like a magnified solar blast from the sun. This nature theme will continue through the TH16 update cycle.

You’ll be happy to know when you upgrade to TH16, your Giga Inferno weapon only has one level! The Giga Inferno is still a force to be reckoned with as it will still attempt to roast attacking units. Additionally, a Poison effect is still deployed when the Town Hall is destroyed!
