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 none other than 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 new rendition of Bolton's classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," performed by the Barbarian, now sporting a stylish mullet and handlebar mustache – rebranded as the "Barboltian."
This isn't just a one-off novelty; 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 is clearly hoping the Barboltian's vocal talents will be enough of a draw.
A Humorous, Yet Effective Strategy?
The collaboration's humor is undeniable, and the surprise factor is certainly effective. Given Supercell's track record of high-profile partnerships over the past year, perhaps this shouldn't be so shocking. However, the effectiveness of a parody music video alone in attracting lapsed players remains to be seen. Hopefully, further in-game promotions or a return campaign will be implemented to truly reignite interest among former players.
If this collaboration has indeed lured you back to Clash Royale, be sure to consult our updated tier list to optimize your gameplay strategy!
