Clash Royale is hitting the nostalgia button with its brand-new Retro Royale mode, taking players back to the game’s early days in 2017. This limited-time event will be live from March 12th to March 26th, offering a fresh twist on classic gameplay and a chance to earn exclusive rewards.
In Retro Royale, players will experience a return to the original card pool and meta from when Clash Royale first launched. You’ll have access to only 80 cards—a throwback to the initial roster—as you battle your way up the 30-step Retro Ladder. Each victory brings you closer to unlocking valuable Gold and Season Tokens, so sharpen your deck and prepare for some intense duels.
The challenge ramps up as you progress—once you reach the Competitive League, your starting rank will be determined by your progress in the Trophy Road. From there, it’s all about proving your skill through consistent performance and climbing the leaderboard to showcase your timeless strategy.
Why Retro Royale Stands Out
While it may seem contradictory for Supercell to introduce a retro-themed mode shortly after announcing updates aimed at keeping their games fresh, Retro Royale strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation. It's not just a rehash—it's a celebration of where the game began, paired with new progression mechanics that make it feel relevant again.
What’s more, if you participate in both the Retro Ladder and the Competitive League at least once during the event period, you’ll earn a special badge for each—adding a unique touch to your profile and showing off your dedication.
Final Thoughts
Retro Royale is more than just a trip down memory lane—it's an opportunity to test your skills in a refined yet familiar environment. With exciting rewards, competitive play, and nostalgic charm, this event is a must-try for longtime fans and newer players alike.
