Clash Royale heads back to the past with new (yet old) Retro Royale mode

Clash Royale is throwing it back to 2017 with the all-new Retro Royale Mode! Available for a limited time only, from March 12th to the 26th, this exciting mode offers a chance to earn fantastic new rewards. Climb the 30-step ladder to claim Gold and Season Tokens.

As mentioned previously regarding the removal of Troop Training times in Clash of Clans, Supercell's continued success stems from consistently refreshing their top games. This anniversary update for Clash Royale isn't just a tweak; it's a trip back to the game's 2017 launch!

The new Retro Royale mode, showcased in a recent trailer, recreates the original launch meta and card pool. From March 12th to 26th, players will choose from a curated selection of 80 cards as they battle their way up the Retro Ladder. Exclusive rewards await as you conquer all 30 steps to earn Gold and Season Tokens.

The competition intensifies as you ascend the ranks. Upon reaching the Competitive League, your starting rank is determined by your Trophy Road progress. From there, it's all about Retro Royale performance—climb the leaderboard to prove your enduring Clash Royale skills!

A Royal Decree

It's somewhat ironic that I recently discussed Supercell's efforts to keep their games feeling fresh, only to see a retro mode arrive so soon after. However, there's a clear distinction between dated and nostalgic. With the enticing rewards on offer, it's hard to imagine fans resisting the urge to dive into Retro Royale.

Don't forget—participating in both the Retro Ladder and Competitive League (at least once each) unlocks a unique badge for each!
