Clash Royale's Unexpected Collaboration: Michael Bolton and the Barboltian!
Supercell, the creators of Clash Royale, have once again surprised us with an unusual celebrity partnership. This time, it's the legendary singer Michael Bolton teaming up with the game's iconic Barbarian. The result? A unique music video featuring a new rendition of Bolton's classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," performed by the Barbarian, now reimagined as the "Barboltian" complete with a mullet and handlebar mustache.
This isn't just a silly video; the song will also be available on major music streaming platforms. While there's currently no announced rewards program to entice lapsed players back to the game, Supercell is clearly banking on the Barboltian's surprisingly catchy performance to reignite interest.
A Surprisingly Effective Strategy?
While initially shocking, this collaboration isn't entirely out of character for Supercell. They've previously partnered with high-profile celebrities like Erling Haaland (Clash of Clans) and Gordon Ramsay (Hay Day). However, the effectiveness of a parody music video in attracting former players remains to be seen. Hopefully, additional in-game promotions or a return campaign will follow to solidify the effort.
