Year of the Snake Scenery in Clash of Clans

🌟 Introduction

Year of the Snake Scenery was released on February 1, 2025, this scenery arrived during the Lunar New Year event. It’s themed around the Wood Snake from the Chinese Zodiac and brings an entirely fresh approach to Clash of Clans sceneries this time with a vertical layout and deep visual storytelling. Let’s dive into everything that makes this scenery truly legendary.

🔭 1. Vertical Design – A Unique Structure

Unlike most Clash of Clans sceneries that are designed to be wide and horizontal, the Year of the Snake scenery stands out by being vertically aligned. This design choice gives the entire map a totem-pole-like structure, with layers stacked from top to bottom.

At the very top, you’ll see misty mountain peaks with clouds drifting past. As your eyes move downward, you travel through forested cliffs, a hero zone, water features, and finally reach the bottom lake area where fog rolls in. Because of this vertical arrangement, you’ll need to zoom out completely to take in the full view a first for Clash of Clans.

This layout isn’t just a novelty; it influences how the visual story unfolds, with the environment literally telling a tale from top to bottom.

🦸‍♂️ 2. Hero Snakes – Elemental Themes with Cinematics

Each hero is uniquely represented by a snake themed around one of the five Chinese elements, and these aren’t just symbolic they come to life through cinematic animations when you tap on each hero. Here’s how they’re designed:

Each cinematic includes element-based sound effects, visual transformations, and brief animations that feel like they’re pulled straight out of a mythology movie. This is one of the only sceneries to offer individual cinematic cutscenes per hero a premium visual treat.

🎭 3. Storytelling Through Animation

What makes this scenery shine is its constant background activity. Rather than being a static backdrop, the map is alive with characters and animations that tell mini-stories. Here are some standout moments:

• Near the town center, a Barbarian and Archer light a lantern together. Once lit, it gently floats upward, symbolizing celebration and hope.
• A wise Sensei (likely a nod to traditional Chinese monks) sits cross-legged inside a peaceful dojo, balancing teacups with telekinesis hinting at serenity and spiritual energy.
• Down near the gold storage areas, a sneaky Goblin is seen trying to steal treasure, popping in and out of view.
• A giant Warden statue carved in stone watches over the landscape like a mythical guardian.
• At the bottom of the map, the moon reflects on the lake’s surface, forming a subtle yin-yang with the real moon overhead a brilliant touch of philosophy and design.

These details make the scenery feel like a living painting that reacts to your gaze, telling a story every time you look closer.

🔊 4. UI Customizations and Map Changes

To match the theme, the scenery also alters several game elements:

• 🎵 The background music is replaced with soft, traditional Chinese melodies featuring flutes, gongs, and string instruments enhancing immersion.
• 🏯 The Super Troop Sauna is now styled like a steaming pagoda, glowing with mystic energy.
• ⛩️ The Trader Tent is wrapped in red lanterns and scrolls, as if set up for a market during Lunar New Year.
• ⛵ The Builder Boat gets a dragon-head prow and traditional sails, resembling ancient Chinese ships.
• ⚒️ The Forge is decorated with ceremonial red banners and glowing incense.

These UI changes create a seamless, festival-like vibe across your entire home village.

💵 5. Price & Overall Value

This scenery was sold for $32.99 USD and could only be purchased in-game it wasn’t available on the Supercell Store. Being a limited-time seasonal release for Lunar New Year 2025, it may not return for a long time (if ever).

Although it provides no gameplay advantage, it offers tremendous value for players who enjoy collecting cosmetics or showcasing rare aesthetics. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’re getting:

• 🔥 5 fully animated elemental hero cinematics
• 🌄 A unique vertical map structure
• 🎥 Cinematic storytelling through environment and NPCs
• 🎶 Custom music and themed game elements

🐲 6. Hidden Details & Easter Eggs

You might miss these at first glance, but they’re part of what makes this scenery so beloved:

• A floating lantern travels slowly upward every few minutes a nod to real-world Lunar New Year lantern releases.
• Occasionally, the goblin thief’s head pops up from random gold piles, adding a bit of mischief.
• The Sensei NPC’s movement syncs with background chimes if you have music on.
• The clouds drift from top to bottom, reinforcing the vertical motion theme.
• Behind the mountains, there’s a subtle outline of a dragon’s tail, possibly teasing a future Year of the Dragon scenery.

These subtle touches show just how much thought went into the design.
