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

Authore: JosephUpdate:Mar 18,2025

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 mode offers exciting new rewards. Climb the 30-step ladder to earn Gold and Season Tokens.

Supercell's continued success stems from consistently refreshing its top games, as evidenced by the recent removal of troop training times in Clash of Clans. Now, Clash Royale joins the party, celebrating its anniversary by taking players back to its 2017 launch!

The new Retro Royale mode, showcased in a recent trailer, features the original launch meta and card pool. From March 12th to 26th, choose from 80 cards and battle your way up the Retro Ladder for exclusive rewards. Reaching the 30th step unlocks Gold and Season Tokens.

Competition intensifies as you climb 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 and prove your timeless skills!

A Royal Decree of Nostalgia

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

Don't miss out! Competing in both the Retro Ladder and the Competitive League at least once earns you a special badge for each.
