Inferno Dragon Evolution Upgrade Arrives in Clash Royale After 9 Years

Clash Royale players finally get their wish - the Inferno Dragon receives a major evolution after nearly a decade. This fiery legend now sports upgraded capabilities. To celebrate, Supercell partnered with Finnish comedian Ismo Leikola for a unique announcement.

A Fiery Negotiation Erupts!

After nine years in service, the Inferno Dragon stars in a new Clash Royale trailer featuring Leikola as its eccentric Hollywood agent demanding bigger roles.

The playful dragon abandons its battlefield duties for flashier dreams in Tinseltown.

Catch the Inferno Dragon and Leikola's hilarious negotiation tactics at Supercell's Clash Royale HQ.

The evolved Inferno Dragon fundamentally changes battle dynamics - unlike the original which reset damage when switching targets, the upgraded version maintains its escalating damage output.

Inferno Dragon Evolution Sparks New Clash Royale Season

Dubbed How to Evolve Your Dragon!, the new season introduces both the Inferno Dragon Evolution and returns the 2v2 League. Partner with friends or random allies to climb the ranks.
