Finally, the wait is over. Supercell is releasing their hotly anticipated "Clash of Clans" December update, which offers a slew of new features that's expected to change the gaming experience in a major way. The latest reports marked the release date of the patch as well as revealing the last few teasers including the Eagle Artillery and new defensive schemes.

According to a report from Gotta Be Mobile, the Supercell team confirmed the expected arrival of the December patch on the forums, saying it will be dropping to iPhone and Android devices on Thursday, Dec. 10. While this is the launch date Supercell wants, it's important to note that this could change should the developer spot problems or hiccups ahead of the update's release.

Supercell is rocking the boat with this upcoming patch and the constant sneak peeks have only served to hype up its arrival even more. The latest sneak peek offers a preview of the brand new Eagle Artillery defense, which will reportedly offer two levels and be a powerful weapon.

The Eagle Artillery provides an amazing range with the ability to cover the entire map. However, take note of a small "blind spot" near the actual structure where troops can stay hidden and cannot be targeted by the artillery. When utilizing this defense, it's important to take out troops before they reach this zone.

This is an incredibly strong feature for Town Hall 11 that's expected to do a massive amount of damage against troops. It's instantly turned on as soon as a certain number of troops are on the battlefield.

"Clash of Clans" isn't just one of the top performers in the mobile market, it is the absolute top dog. In a report from Seeking Alpha, it was revealed that the game is still the top-grossing mobile title in the world with net sales in November reaching $112 million. And the developers is still looking for ways to make the experience better.

A new commercial adds fuel to the "Clash of Clans" hype ahead of the December patch. According to a report from Venture Beat, the teaser dubbed the "Clash of Clans 360: Experience a Virtual Reality Raid" lets viewers experience first-hand what it's like in the in-game battleground as troops attack in droves.

Those who are watching the virtual reality clip may scroll 360-degrees to see the "Clash of Clans" world from all angles. It's an interesting point of view to play around in while waiting for the upcoming patch and new gameplay features, with giants, dragons and more venturing up close and personal in battle.
