We are happy to say that the community's predictions about the next Heroes coming to Clash Royale have all been true. The Clash Royale TV Royale April 2026 episode finally made the big announcement we have been waiting for: the reveal of Hero Dark Prince and Hero Bowler. These two Heroes will be coming next season, along with a new seasonal album event and more.

Everything Revealed at Clash Royale TV Royale April 2026

The new Clash Royale TV Royale April 2026 aired on the 27th of the month, was co-hosted by OrangeJuice, one of the most famous Clash Royale content creators.

This episode revealed the two new Clash Royale Heroes: Hero Dark Prince and Hero Bowler, along with new upcoming special events.

Clash Royale New Hero Dark Prince: Charging to the Finish Line

The community already correctly predicted the arrival of Hero Dark Prince after Clash Royale dropped cryptic teasers a few days ago. The Hero Dark Prince now rides a rhino in the arena, replacing his pony. When you use his hero ability, he lets his Rhino charge the nearest enemy tower or building while he stays back to clobber enemies with his new spiky hand gloves.

Moreover, using cards like Rage and Lumberjack to make the rhino move faster will become popular when players start creating Hero Dark Prince decks.

Clash Royale New Hero Bowler: Shooting Boulders Like a Pro

The community also made correct predictions about the arrival of Hero Bowler after a Clash Royale posted a cryptic sneaker image was leaked on TikTok. The Hero Bowler now becomes a pro basketball player as his new hero ability lets him throw his boulder instead of rolling it. This lets it do splash damage wherever it lands.

The best way to use this ability is from the bridge for taking out enemy defenders and the tower, turning the Bowler into a viable win condition rather than simply being a great defender to keep enemies at bay.

Clash Royale Bowler's Mixtape Album Event

Last season's Clash Royale 10th Anniversary Album Event rewarded you with a free Hero Magic Archer upon completion. Next season, you will be able to unlock Hero Bowler for free from the new Bowler's Mixtape Album Event.

Like before, you must collect scenery snippets by winning battles to uncover many images related to the Bowler's history. You only have three weeks to do so, instead of the whole month. There are six images this time instead of nine. Therefore, playing matches every day will be key to getting the final reward.

Clash Royale May 2026 Special Events: Mega Draft Global Tournament and Sudden Death League

Next season, we will be getting two special events, the Mega Draft Global Tournament and the Sudden Death League. According to snippets shown in the new Clash Royale TV Royale April 2026 episode, both events will be active throughout the season. It will allow you to compete against other players and reach the top of the leaderboards to earn special, exclusive rewards, such as the best and rarest emotes in Clash Royale.
