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 character. Following in the footsteps of Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans and Gordon Ramsay in Hay Day, this collaboration is arguably Supercell's most unexpected yet.

The result? A unique music video featuring a reimagined version of Bolton's classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," performed by the Barbarian, now sporting a mullet and handlebar mustache – rebranded as the "Barboltian."

This isn't just a silly video; the song will be available on major music streaming platforms. While there's currently no announced rewards campaign to entice lapsed players back to the game, Supercell seems to be banking on the Barboltian's vocal talents to reignite interest.

Will it Work?

The collaboration is undeniably quirky and humorous. While the initial surprise is undeniable, given Supercell's track record of high-profile partnerships, it's perhaps less shocking than it initially seems.

However, the effectiveness of a parody music video in attracting former players remains questionable. Hopefully, Supercell will launch additional in-game promotions or a return campaign to truly capture the attention of lapsed players.
