Supercell is reportedly planning to announce a Halloween update for its immensely popular "Clash of Clans" mobile game at the ClashCon this Sunday.

Finnish mobile game developer Supercell will be holding its first "Clash of Clans" convention in Helsinski, Finland on October 25 and it is rumored that a Halloween update for the freemium mobile video game will be announced during the "ClashCon."

The MMO strategy game's convention will take place at the Messukeskus Expo and Convention Center, and has been described as a "hog riding, wall breaking, rabbit tossing spectacular," with workshops and live clan wars, as well as notable "CoC" players, ClashWithAsh, Galadon, and Chief Pat as special guests.

The event, which will also be live-streamed on Twitch, YouTube, and the ClashCon website, is said to include a major game update event that will introduce a number of changes to the existing gameplay modes.

Speculations have emerged Supercell is planning to introduce a nighttime gameplay mode to challenge players with lower visibility, the only light sources being torches and shiny gems. The update, which will reportedly be Halloween-themed in accordance with the season, will also be introducing spooky elements to the gameplay.

The upcoming mode is said to be optional for players who prefer the original gameplay and they may opt to disable it should they choose.

A new Barbarian Level 8 and a Town Hall 11 is also speculated to be among the new elements to be added to the update, as well as other training mode features to help players enhance their warrior or strategy skills.

There is also likely to be a new single player mode announced together with the update, to allow players to explore the "CoC" environment on their own without feeling the pressure of having to keep up with the rest of their clan members.

While Supercell has yet to confirm all these speculated changes, the ClashCon remains a few days away and "CoC" fans who have yet to purchase their tickets to the convention can experience the event via live streaming to get first-hand information on the rumored Halloween update.
