In an unexpected move that blends gaming with pop culture, Clash Royale has announced a unique collaboration with none other than Michael Bolton. Yes, the legendary singer has joined forces with the game's iconic Barbarian, transforming him into the "Boltarian" for a special rendition of Bolton's classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You." This collaboration is not only bringing a new music video aimed at re-engaging lapsed players but also features the Barbarian sporting a fresh mullet and handlebar mustache, fully embracing his new identity as the Boltarian.
This isn't just a fun parody; the revamped song will be available on various music streaming platforms, allowing fans to enjoy Bolton's golden vocals in a new context. While there's no word yet on an accompanying rewards campaign to lure back former players, Supercell seems to be banking on the charm of the Boltarian to reignite interest in Clash Royale.
The collaboration follows a trend of Supercell partnering with high-profile celebrities, such as Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans and Gordon Ramsay in Hay Day. While the novelty of a music video featuring Michael Bolton and the Boltarian is certainly entertaining, it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to draw lapsed players back into the fold. Hopefully, Supercell will complement this with a robust in-game promotion or return campaign to truly captivate those who have drifted away.
