Clash Royale is throwing it back to 2017 with the new Retro Royale Mode! Available for a limited time only, from March 12th to 26th, this exciting mode offers a chance to win fantastic new rewards. Climb the 30-step ladder to earn 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 with its anniversary celebration: 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 choose from 80 cards to battle their way up the Retro Ladder. Earn exclusive rewards as you conquer all 30 steps to claim Gold and Season Tokens.
The competition intensifies as you climb the ranks. Once you reach 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 of Nostalgia
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 difference between dated and nostalgic. With the enticing rewards on offer, it's hard to imagine fans resisting the chance to jump in and experience the past.
And here’s a bonus: compete in both the Retro Ladder and the Competitive League at least once to earn a special badge for each!
