In an unexpected twist that has left fans both amused and intrigued, Clash Royale has joined forces with none other than the legendary singer Michael Bolton. This collaboration marks another bold move by Supercell in their series of celebrity partnerships, following the likes of Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans and Gordon Ramsay in Hay Day.
The centerpiece of this collaboration is a special music video featuring Michael Bolton and the iconic Barbarian character from Clash Royale. In this unique rendition of Bolton's classic hit "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," the Barbarian transforms into the "Boltarian," complete with a mullet and handlebar moustache. This creative spin is not just for laughs; the song will be available on various music streaming platforms, extending its reach beyond the game's community.
While the music video targets lapsed players of Clash Royale, there's no word yet on accompanying rewards or a return campaign to entice them back into the game. It seems Supercell is banking on the charm and nostalgia of Michael Bolton's golden vocals to do the heavy lifting.
Sing to Win 'Em Over
Though initially surprising, this collaboration fits into Supercell's strategy of leveraging high-profile celebrities to promote their games. While the parody music video is undoubtedly entertaining, its effectiveness in re-engaging lapsed players remains to be seen. Hopefully, Supercell might introduce additional in-game promotions or rewards campaigns to complement this unique effort.
