As "Clash of Clans" releases its massive update this September, Supercell is expected to re-establish its status as one of the most popular mobile games available today.

It will be tough for "Clash of Clans" because of the bad feedback it received from fans of the game in its last update, but Supercell has taken the fans' reaction and suggestions to heart and seemingly incorporated their suggestions in their latest update, reported Game N' Guide.

According to Supercell's official blog, the studio is working on Arranged Wars and Clan Challenges. However, it failed to mention if these will be released in time for the September update.

Under the Clan Challenges, players will have the ability to challenge any clan they want. Under the mechanics of the feature, the challenging clan will set the time and details of the faceoff which includes even the time for preparation as well as the battle's duration. Fans don't have to worry, though, as this will be a separate feature from Clan Wars, which will still be available.

"Clash of Clans" is also expected to add a new mode but unfortunately, there are no details released for this feature yet. As it stands, the game offers three modes: single player, friendly challenge, and money player.

The game is also expected to adapt to recent mobile hits like Pokémon Go by giving rewards for free gem mining. This has been one of the main draws of the new game as Pokemon trainers are given free items like Pokeballs, eggs, and potions for reaching certain levels in the game. 

Another feature that may come as good news for fans is the adjustments to the Town Hall, which fans mentioned in the game's last update.

While it is unsure whether these features will be included in the new update, the fact that these changes are being developed by Supercell comes as a great relief to loyal fans of the game.
