Although the massive online sandbox game "Clash of Clans" already received a hefty update last month, developer Supercell has continued to expand and made the title better. This time, fans were treated to a surprise as the title received a major update with a Halloween theme.

According to a post on the official Supercell forums, the Halloween update for "Clash of Clans" includes treats for players. Most noted was the 1-gem Spell Factory boost special, which will boost the Spell Factory's production for a day for just a single gem instead of the usual number of requirements. The 1-gem boost will be available until the Halloween weekend. In addition to the 1-gem boost special, the holiday-themed obstacles are also back. This time, players can gather bonus Elixir from special Halloween Cauldron obstacles that will randomly pop up around the player's base.

The post added that the Halloween update is only optional, and players will need to update first to the latest version through the AppStore for iOS users and the Google Play store for Android gamers.

Meanwhile, while the Halloween update seems small and only released to celebrate the holiday, fans are still speculating that Supercell will be releasing a major update soon. Although the developer did not confirm the rumors, industry observers noted that the upcoming ClashCon on Oct. 24 will see Supercell announce some major updates to the title.

According to the rumor mill, the major updates that will be introduced to "Clash of Clans" soon include an upgrade to TH Level 11, as well as other improvements like an added Level 8 Barbarian and some new Dark Spells. In addition to improvements, there might also be some additional new Dark Army characters in the Dark Barracks plus a new hero to be added aside from the Barbarian King and Archer Queen.
