Clash Royale is bringing some massive changes to the game with the March 2025 update, and they’re shaking up how you play. No more Chest Timers, Season Shop, and Banner Tokens from March 31st, 2025, and as part of the additions, we are getting a new Champion and Evolution in Clash Royale.
Clash Royale March 2025 update: All additions and changes explained
No more Chests, no more Timers
Yes, Chests are officially gone. You won’t have to wait for hours for them to open anymore. Instead, after every battle, you’ll get Lucky Drops, which means you instantly receive Cards, Gold, and Crowns. No more slot management or timers. Just play a match, win, and claim your rewards right away.
Season Shop and Banner Tokens Removed
The Season Shop is being removed as well. This is an absolutely surprising change because the TV Royale video mentioned this about “not doing it for more players“. I, among many, don’t agree with this, but goodbye, I guess.
Now, starting from the update, instead of keeping a separate shop, Pass Royale, Events, and Challenges will now include those rewards. This will be aimed at making earning rewards easier to earn without extra steps, so we need to see how these changes will go forward.
Along with this, Banner Box and Banner Tokens are also gone, so you won’t be able to buy banners directly anymore. Instead, banners will be unlocked through Challenges and Events as rewards. If you have Banner Tokens, they will be converted into gold.
The calculation starts per 100 Banner Tokens, which gives us 2000 Gold, with a maximum conversion of 2000 Banner Tokens, which gives us 40,000 Gold.
Boss Bandit and Executioner Evo arrive
As expected, thanks to the leaks, a new champion in Boss Bandit and Executioner Card Evolution arrives. The details about them were already shared, and it hasn’t changed much.
The Boss Bandit will be a 6-Elixir card, the priciest Champion yet. Like the Bandit, she can dash toward enemies and strike with her bat, but what sets her apart is her special ability. Her Getaway Grenade lets her drop a smoke bomb, teleport back to safety, and perform the dash again.
Executioner, with his new Evolution, has his axe doing extra damage to nearby troops. On top of that, each axe throw also pushes back enemies. This knockback effect makes it harder for melee troops to rush him down.
Other Improvements and Updates
Some much-needed improvements are coming to the game. Troop pathfinding has been improved, so units won’t take weird detours or get stuck on buildings anymore.
There’s also a new Play Again button, making it easier to jump straight into the next battle without going to the home screen. Daily Streak rewards have been updated as well.
