- The upcoming Clash of Clans Hammer Jam was supposed to be a major event
- But it seems to be in danger as the titular Hammer is missing
- Clash of Clans now has a new true crime podcast to try and track down the tool
Fans of true crime and Supercell's Clash of Clans, which I bet is a surprisingly common demographic, will be thrilled to learn that the game is set to debut with a strange new mix of the two. The upcoming Hammer Jam event has unfortunately been put in jeopardy due to the theft of the titular Hammer and Supercell is inviting fans to follow along in the new podcast Hammerless: A True Crime Podcast in a Fantasy World.
As you might expect from the title, Hammerless sees forensic experts, villagers and more weigh in on this murder mystery. Inviting fans to follow along and keep an eye out for clues, the podcast will arrive on Apple Music and Spotify every day ahead of a (hopefully) ongoing Hammer Jam.
The “reward” for this is, of course, Hammer Jam itself. Which, of course, I would guarantee, would happen anyway. But as far as ARGs (alternative reality games, the more you know) go, this one is pretty cool.
True lies
While true crime as a concept has gotten mixed reactions from many citizens, there is an undeniable tradition in explaining dark and depraved occurrences. Instead, Hammerless offers a little parody of the concept, while also tying into the upcoming annual Clash of Clans event. And with a unique guest in the form of famed forensic psychologist Dr. Leslie Dobson set to chime in, it's going to be a fun time I bet.
