In a surprising twist that has caught the attention of gamers and music fans alike, Clash Royale has teamed up with none other than the legendary singer, Michael Bolton. In what might be the most unexpected celebrity collaboration in gaming to date, the iconic Barbarian has undergone a transformation into the "Boltarian," complete with a mullet and handlebar mustache, to star in a new music video.
This collaboration features a special rendition of Bolton's classic love song, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," tailored specifically to entice lapsed Clash Royale players back into the game. The music video isn't just a one-off parody; it's also available for streaming on various music platforms, bringing the Boltarian's charm to a broader audience.
While there's no word yet on a rewards campaign to accompany this unique promotion, Supercell seems to be banking on the allure of Bolton's golden voice and the novelty of the Boltarian to draw players back into the fold. Given Supercell's history of high-profile collaborations, including Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans and Gordon Ramsay in Hay Day, this move, though bizarre, fits their pattern of unexpected partnerships.
While the parody music video is undeniably entertaining, its effectiveness in re-engaging lapsed players remains to be seen. Hopefully, Supercell might roll out additional in-game promotions or a return campaign to complement the Boltarian's debut and truly win back the hearts of former players.
