Clash Royale is celebrating its legacy with the launch of the brand-new *Retro Royale* mode, a limited-time event running from March 12th to March 26th. This nostalgic twist brings players back to the game’s early days in 2017, reviving the original meta and card pool for a fresh yet familiar experience. With only 80 cards available, strategy and skill will be key as you battle through the 30-step Retro Ladder to earn Gold and Season Tokens.
As part of the festivities, Supercell continues to innovate while honoring its roots—a balance that has helped the studio maintain its dominance in mobile gaming. Just as Clash of Clans recently saw major changes with the removal of Troop Training times, Clash Royale now offers fans a trip down memory lane without sacrificing competitive depth.
Once you reach the Competitive League in *Retro Royale*, your starting rank will be determined by your progress in Trophy Road. From there, it's all about performance. The higher you climb on the leaderboard, the more you prove your mastery of the classic gameplay style.
Exclusive Rewards & Badges Await
Beyond bragging rights, participants who complete at least one battle in both the Retro Ladder and Competitive League will earn exclusive badges—commemorative tokens of your participation in this special event.

A Nostalgic Edge to Keep the Game Fresh
It may seem ironic that just as Supercell focuses on modernizing its titles, *Retro Royale* makes a bold return to the past. However, there's a clear distinction between feeling outdated and being nostalgically relevant. With exciting rewards and a refined retro format, this mode is sure to attract both veteran players and newcomers eager to test their skills in a simplified meta.
