According to Stuart McGaw, the upcoming Clash of Clans update will allow players to have an optional Hard Mode while engaging in Friendly Wars and Friendly Challenges.

While the exact setting of this mode is yet to be finalized, the developer ensured that the team will make further adjustments to it based on community feedback. He also revealed that the Esports Global Finals in 2024 will feature the mode.

The aim of Hard Mode is to provide players with what they want. While acknowledging the skill gap between various players, McGaw shed some light on how competitive gamers want tougher experiences, while regular ones like to chill and opt for a laid-back approach.

With the introduction of Hard Mode, the two opposite sides won't have to compete against each other.

Apart from Hard Mode, the upcoming Town Hall 17 in the next few months will require players to merge all their existing Archer Towers and Cannons to create Multi-Archer Towers and Ricochet Cannons. Stuart McGaw said the the development team is also thinking of introducing newly merged defenses by combining Town Hall and Eagle Artillery.

These Clash of Clans changes will be introduced to make the meta fresh and engaging. This means players will have to bid farewell to existing defenses to create upgraded versions in the near future.

McGaw also revealed Supercell's plan to aid lower Town Hall level players in the June 2024 update, allowing them to max out their buildings and prepare for the Town Hall 17 release.
