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

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

Supercell's continued success stems from consistently refreshing their top games, as evidenced by their recent announcement about removing troop training times in Clash of Clans. Now, Clash Royale joins the party, celebrating its anniversary with a trip down memory lane.

The Retro Royale mode, showcased in a recent trailer, recreates the launch-day meta and card pool. From March 12th to 26th, you’ll battle with a selection of 80 cards, climbing the Retro Ladder for exclusive rewards. Reach the top of the 30-step ladder to earn Gold and Season Tokens.

The competition intensifies as you ascend the ranks. Once you hit 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 and prove your timeless Clash Royale skills!

A Royal Decree of Nostalgia

It's interesting that I recently discussed Supercell's efforts to keep their games fresh, and now a retro mode arrives. However, there's a difference between feeling dated and feeling nostalgic. With the enticing rewards on offer, it's hard to imagine fans resisting the chance to participate.

Don't forget: competing in both the Retro Ladder and the Competitive League (at least once each) earns you a special badge for each!
