Clash Royale revisits past with Retro Royale mode

Supercell is taking fans of Clash Royale on a nostalgic journey with the introduction of the new Retro Royale Mode, harking back to the game's launch in 2017. This exciting update will be available for a limited time, from March 12th to the 26th, offering players a chance to relive the early days of the game while competing for some fantastic rewards. As you ascend the 30-step Retro Ladder, you'll be able to earn Gold and Season Tokens, making every match count.

In Retro Royale Mode, you'll have access to a curated selection of 80 cards from the game's original lineup. The challenge is to climb the Retro Ladder, where each step brings you closer to exclusive rewards. As the competition intensifies, reaching the Competitive League will see you assigned a starting rank based on your progress on the Tropy Road. From there, it's all about showcasing your skills in Retro Royale Performance and climbing the leaderboard to prove your timeless talents.

It's an interesting move by Supercell, especially following their recent decision to remove Troop Training times in Clash of Clans, showcasing their commitment to keeping their top titles fresh and engaging. While it might seem counterintuitive to introduce a retro mode right after emphasizing innovation, there's a clear distinction between feeling dated and embracing nostalgia. With the enticing rewards on offer, it's hard to imagine fans not wanting to dive into this blast from the past.

And there's an added incentive: by participating in both the Retro Ladder and the Competitive League at least once, you'll earn a special badge for each, adding to the allure of this limited-time event.
