How often do Supercell release major updates?

I started playing Clash Royale when it was released and happened onto the forums over there for strategy tips only to learn that the game was released in very few countries on IOS only. I guess it's called a soft release...anyway, Supercell has done this with all of their games to test popularity to to find bugs before a global release. If you wander over to the Clash Royale forums, half of the posts will be complaints about them not releasing it to everyone universally.

Would you you prefer they released soft updates to a few select countries to find bugs before releasing to everyone, even if this took months, and your country was not included? It's difficult to catch every bug, big and small, before a release. Players are smart and discover glitches and look for work arounds to expose weaknesses that they may have never dreamed of. Unfortunately it's part of everything and we just have to put up with it.

That being said, hopefully the reason the next update is taking so long is because they are dillegently ironing out all the bugs. *thumbs up* emoticon here...for some reason I can't get them to work...conspiracy!

"All I can say is that we are working on the next update! :) Can't reveal what it will be or when it will be out, but we are working on it."

We were told during the AMA that they're planning a release in Q1. Judging by the previous years' updates I'd guess late Q1 - like mid-March, maybe? If last year is anything to go by I'd say expect a content update (judge for yourself whether it's 'major') for each quarter. If Supercell starts separating the seasonal change (costumes, trees, decos, etc.) from the content updates it'd give us something to look forward to more than once every three months :(

Edit: correcting the source of the info regarding the next update.

All new games created must be tested in the crucible. Clash of Clans, Hay Day and Boom Beach passed the trial and were released globally. Here's what happened to the last game which didn't meet Supercell's high standards.

Really? REALLY? :facepalm: All games have their own teams, and updates are released when the updates are ready. Hay Day updates have NOTHING to do with Boom or Clash in any way or form.

Hi abhi589!
We can't say a specific date (mainly because we don't know!) but it will very probably be in Q1 2016.

Thank you Nick for the update on the sweet update which we may expect in Q2, Q3, or Q4?

In the meantime, I'll try out some games advertised on HD's movie trailers. Works for me.:)

What I don't understand, is why is everybody in such a rush to have their game become more frustrating? I must be the odd man out, because I'm happy with the way things are.

Well actually there are one or two changes I would love but this is neither the place nor the time. To tell the truth I wouldn't mind seeing another bunny or two. Hop hop hippity hop 🐇🕊. I'm even offering up a dove with an olive branch as a peace offering it. 🤓

U are not alone. Some people are very easily content and satisfied. Some people want and yearn for more. Some like to lay on the beach, others like jumping out of a plane. I'm the latter. Bring it, SC!
