Supercell Revealed the New Hero and Evo Coming to Clash Royale Next Season With its Recent TV Royale

The new episode of Clash Royale TV Royale May 2026 just aired, with brand-new announcements leading up to the new season. While we previously got leaks about the new Hero and Evolution, more changes are coming in the form of new Collection Levels and new seasonal events. Have a look at every major announcement made in the new Clash Royale TV Royale May 2026 episode.

Clash Royale TV Royale May 2026: All Major Announcements

The latest Clash Royale TV Royale May 2026 episode aired on Thursday, May 21, 2026, revealing the new Hero Tombstone and Princess Evolution that will be introduced next season, along with new game modes, and more.

Clash Royale New Hero Tombstone

After Supercell recently shared a cryptic image of the Clash Royale New Hero Leaked, with a bunch of Skeletons hunched up together underground, the community instantly figured out the new hero to be Hero Tombstone.

This new Hero has the same stats as the original Tombstone, spawning Skeletons periodically. However, this time it gets a new Heroic ability that lets you destroy the Tombstone a bit earlier to spawn the Tomb Queen, a lumbering Skeleton.

The Tomb Queen is a new troop that only targets buildings and towers. Additionally, she periodically spawns more Skeletons when she walks and dies.

You can activate this ability even when the Tombstone gets destroyed, although you only have a few seconds to do so. If you are collecting the new Heroes, go through our Clash Royale Best Heroes list to find out who's the best Hero in Clash Royale.

Clash Royale New Icy Princess Evolution

After being teased on social media, the Icy Princess Evolution is coming to Clash Royale next season. In her evolved form, she now shoots icy arrows on her first attack and every third attack.

These arrows slow down and damage all enemies hit. Moreover, she now spawns an icy zone when she dies, damaging and slowing down enemy troops inside it. This Clash Royale new Evolution will also be available directly from the premium Pass Royale. We also recommend checking out our Clash Royale Evolution Tier List to check how the best Evos shape up with the current meta.

New Clash Royale Collection Level System

Figuring out how you gained Collection Levels is tricky since different cards give different amounts of XP. However, this all changes with the Clash Royale next update, where the King's Journey is completely replaced with the new Clash Royale Collection Level system.

Every time you upgrade your cards, they will increase your Collection Level by one. If you unlock the Evolution or Hero variant of a card, you also earn five bonus Collection Levels.

Instead of getting new King Chests for leveling up, you will now gain many different kinds of rewards depending on your Collection Level. You get a new reward for every 10 Collection Levels you gain. Your King Tower level will also get upgraded at certain intervals.

Seasonal Trophy Road Returns

Previously, when you reached the end of the Trophy Road, you would become eligible to play matches in a new rotating seasonal arena. Finally, after 2025, the Seasonal Trophy Road returns with multiple arenas each season. When you climb to the first arena in trophies to unlock new rewards, you must create a new deck to begin battling in the next arena without using any of your most-used cards, which are automatically banned.

Daily Catch-Up Rewards

The best way to get free Gold in Clash Royale is by playing the game daily and winning up to four matches to earn free Magic Lucky Chests. With the Clash Royale May Update, you will still get these chests even if you didn't log in for a few days. On logging in again, you will get bonus free Lucky Magic Chests for the first win of the day.

Victory Run Event

In this new Clash Royale Event, you must win normal matches in other game modes to climb higher and reach certain level checkpoints. Each checkpoint has a new reward for you to unlock, and you have three lives. Lose three times, and you are out.

However, you can refill all lost lives by simply reaching the next checkpoint. If you get knocked out before you do so, you can use 10 Gems to retry. You also get one additional life if you bought the premium Pass Royale.

Introducing the new Princess Gambit Game Mode

The new Princess Gambit game modes change the game's rules. This time, you will have to fight with only your Princess towers and without your King Tower. The first one to break any one of the enemy towers wins the match, making it feel similar to the Sudden Death game mode.

However, the biggest change is the fact that you don't need a deck for this game mode. With the mode being limited to a pool of only 40 cards, they will appear randomly in your hand. At the start of every match, both players will be shown which Evolutions and Heroes will appear in their hands.

That's all we know from the recent new Clash Royale TV Royale May 2026 episode. While you are looking forward to the next season to arrive, keep checking our list of Clash Royale Meta Decks to check how they hold up with the next season's meta.
