When Did CoC Come Out Exactly? A Quick Look Back at Its Launch

Alright, so you wanna know when that Clash of Clans thing came out, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s been around a good while now. They say it first popped up on them fancy Apple phones, the iSomethings, back in August of 2012. Yeah, August 2nd, 2012, to be exact. Then, them Android folks got it a little later, in October of 2013.

Now, I ain’t no expert on these phone games, but my grandkids, they play this thing all the time. Always tappin’ and swipin’ on their little screens. From what I gather, it’s about buildin’ a village and fightin’ other villages. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss to me, but they seem to like it.

This game, they tell me it was made by some company over in Finland. Fin- somethin’. Supercell, that’s it! These fellas, they made this game real popular. Millions of folks playin’ it all over the world, they say. Can you believe that? Millions!

And it ain’t just been the same game all these years, no sir. They keep addin’ stuff. New buildin’s, new fightin’ guys, all sorts of things. My grandkids, they get all excited when somethin’ new comes out. Like that time they added them big Tesla towers, or when they let you sail around in a blimp! They were yappin’ about it for days.

2012: The game started on them iPhones in August. Android folks got it in October next year.
2013: They added this big, fiery fortress thing. Town Hall level 10, I think they called it.
2014: Your hero guys got new special moves, and they started givin’ out free gems in a box, fancy that. They also started lettin’ folks fight in groups, Clan Wars.
2015: Them clans got better. You could get perks and badges and stuff. They added a thing to blow away air troops, and a place to make dark spells. Poison and earthquake and such. And that big Town Hall, it became a place to store your stuff in December. Level 11, they called it.
2016: They added a cart to pick up leftover loot and gave out star bonuses. A new fella showed up, a bowler, throws rocks I guess. You could start fightin’ your friends just for fun.
2017: They made a whole other village you could build, a Builder Base they called it. Added new troops like Night Witches and Roasters, even Giant Cannons and Drop Ships.
2018: More new stuff! Mega Tesla, Super PEKKA, and a Trader guy. They even added a Town Hall level 12 with a big Giga Tesla, Battle Blimp, Wall Wrecker, and an Electro Dragon.

See? They keep addin’ and addin’. That’s how they keep them young’uns hooked, I reckon. Always somethin’ new to chase after. It’s smart, I guess, keeps ’em comin’ back for more.

Now, they tell me this game makes a lot of money. Millions of dollars, they say. People spendin’ their hard-earned cash on this little phone game. I don’t get it, but then again, I don’t get most of what them young folks do these days.

But back to your question, when did it come out? August 2, 2012, for Apple, October 7, 2013, for Android. That’s the long and short of it. And it’s been changin’ and growin’ ever since. So next time your grandkids are tappin’ away, you’ll know a little somethin’ about it, huh?

Clash of Clans, they call it. Sounds like a lot of noise to me, but hey, if it keeps ’em busy, I ain’t complainin’. Just wish they’d spend more time outside playin’ in the dirt like we used to. But times, they change I guess.

Anyway, that’s all I know about that COC game. Hope it answers your question. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Them grandkids will be hungry after all that tappin’ and swipin’.
