Supercell ditches gacha

Supercell plans to strip gacha out of *mo.co* in its “Neo” overhaul, now slated for summer 2026. (gamingonphone.com) Community manager João Freitas said the update is expected between May and June 2026, after the team said on February 17 that Neo would miss its earlier March target. (gamingonphone.com) The redesign goes beyond monetization. Supercell is removing the old build system and shifting weapons to fixed kits with their own abilities and playstyles, alongside weapon mastery, upgrade cores and a monster-tracking collection system. (gamingonphone.com) Gacha is the slot-machine style system common in mobile games: players spend currency for randomized rewards. Freitas said *mo.co* will instead sell cosmetics directly with in-game currency, so players know what they are buying. (gamingonphone.com) That change follows months of broader rework plans for *mo.co*, which Supercell has been reshaping since at least late 2025. Earlier Neo details said the game would drop power grind in favor of class unlocks, mastery tracks, player-level rewards, daily jobs and rifts. (gamingonphone.com) Those late-2025 plans also said Neo would replace player-made builds with classes, with each class built around a specific weapon and combat style. The same report said Supercell planned to add a new class every two weeks after the overhaul. (gamingonphone.com) *mo.co* itself is still a relatively new Supercell release. The company opened the game to everyone on July 1, 2025, while saying it would keep marketing “lowkey” and focus on building the game gradually. (supercell.com) The new update also changes how live operations work. GamingonPhone reported that events are moving to a cloud-based system, which would let developers adjust events without pushing a full client update, and that matchmaking changes are meant to cut down on bot-filled zones. (gamingonphone.com) For Supercell, the message is narrower than a full relaunch but bigger than a balance patch: *mo.co* is being rebuilt around clearer progression and direct cosmetic sales before the company tries to scale it further this summer.
