Clash of Clans October 2025 Update: Major Changes and New Features

Supercell is preparing one of the most significant Clash of Clans updates in recent years, scheduled for October 2025. The patch is set to reduce grind, streamline progression, and introduce brand-new ways to play. Here’s everything you need to know.

Unified Town Hall Upgrades

A major quality-of-life improvement is coming to Town Halls 12–15 and 17. The old star upgrade system is being removed. Instead of multiple upgrade tiers, each Town Hall will now have a single, clear upgrade level—just like Town Hall 16.

For players, this means faster progress and fewer resource costs. If your Town Hall is mid-upgrade when the patch hits, the upgrade will be canceled, but your Town Hall’s weapon will instantly match the stats of a fully maxed version.

Spring Trap Rework

Spring Traps are getting a complete overhaul. Instead of tossing multiple small units, they will now target a single troop with the highest housing space in range.

• If the troop’s housing space exceeds the trap’s capacity, it will take massive damage.
• If the troop is destroyed, it will be ejected.
• If it survives, it will be thrown vertically.

The update also adds seven new Spring Trap levels, starting at Town Hall 11 and going up to 12. Builder Base players won’t be left out either—Spring Traps there are getting a new upgrade level as well.

New Battle Modes: Farming and Ranked

Multiplayer battles are being split into two distinct modes for the first time:

• Battle (Farming Mode): The default option for farming resources. You’ll be able to pick opponents, skip bases, and play without worrying about trophies.
• Ranked Battle: A competitive mode focused entirely on trophies. Players will have limited daily attacks and no option to skip bases, making this the go-to mode for serious trophy pushes.

With this change, trophies will only be tied to Ranked Battles, giving players more freedom to choose between farming and competitive play.

League System Overhaul

Leagues are also being restructured to fit with the new Ranked system. Starting at Town Hall 7, Ranked Battles will function like a smaller version of the Legends League, complete with new tiers and modifiers at higher levels.

Both Farming and Ranked modes will still contribute to Star Bonuses and League Bonuses, but only Ranked Battles will impact your trophies.

Release Date: October 2025

The current season under the old system ends on October 6, 2025. Based on this schedule, the update is expected to drop around that time. As for Town Hall 18, it’s unlikely to be included in this patch—but it may be teased in the near future.

Until then, keep an eye on official announcements as Clash of Clans prepares for one of its biggest shake-ups yet.
