## History

* On the 16th of May 2017, BlankMediaGames (BMG) made an announcement which told of the future expansion. On May 17th, the Public Test Realm (PTR) opened up, allowing users to freely test the expansion using the browser version of the game until June 6th of 2017.

* In the PTR, users had noticed a mystery role which BMG had announced earlier. This was to be a surprise. However, the community had noticed scrolls available in the shop for this mystery role, and quickly learned of its name, which is the Juggernaut. The Juggernaut scrolls were later removed from the shop, though players may still obtain these scrolls by purchasing a bundle which contains 3 of every scroll.

* On June 6th of 2017, BMG closed off the PTR and released the expansion on Steam.

* On July 20th of 2017, the expansion was released for the browser version.

* On October 14th of 2018, the expansion was finally released for the mobile version.

## Trivia

* Prior to Version 3.3.0, the Ambusher and Hypnotist were **Coven Expansion** roles, but have since then escaped the expansion.
* The Witch is the only Classic role that is not playable in the **Coven Expansion** game modes. This is because the Coven Leader performs the same night ability as the Witch.
* Juggernaut was not announced originally when the expansion was announced. BlankMediaGames only announced the release of a secret role. The role was found out soon after by players who rolled it. Juggernaut is also the first and only role in the game that cannot be put onto a role list, but can only rolled by putting in Neutral Killing, Random Neutral or Any.
