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 brand-new rewards. Climb the 30-step ladder to earn Gold and Season Tokens.

As mentioned recently 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 change; it's a trip back to 2017!

The new Retro Royale mode, showcased in a recent trailer, recreates the launch-era meta and card pool. From March 12th to the 26th, you'll choose from 80 cards to battle your way up the Retro Ladder. Earn exclusive rewards as you ascend the 30 steps to claim Gold and Season Tokens.

The competition intensifies as you rank up. 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 timeless skills!

A Royal Decree of Nostalgia

It's interesting that I recently discussed Supercell's efforts to keep their games fresh, only to see a retro mode arrive so soon after. However, there's a difference between feeling dated and feeling nostalgic. With the tempting rewards on offer, it's hard to imagine fans resisting the urge to jump in and experience Retro Royale.

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