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

Clash Royale is throwing it back to 2017 with its 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!

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 isn't just limited to Clash of Clans; Clash Royale's latest anniversary celebration brings players back to the game's 2017 launch!

The new Retro Royale mode, showcased in a recent trailer, recreates the original game's meta and card pool. From March 12th to 26th, players choose from 80 cards to battle their way up the Retro Ladder. Exclusive rewards await as you ascend the 30 steps to earn Gold and Season Tokens.

The competition intensifies as you climb the ranks. Reaching the Competitive League assigns you a starting rank based on your Trophy Road progress. Your Retro Royale performance then determines your climb up the leaderboard, showcasing your enduring Clash Royale skills.

A Royal Decree of Nostalgia

It's interesting 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 feeling dated and feeling nostalgic. With the enticing 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 Competitive League at least once unlocks a special badge for each!
