Michael Bolton Joins Clash Royale in Odd Collaboration

In a surprising twist that blends the worlds of gaming and music, Clash Royale has announced a unique collaboration with none other than the legendary singer, Michael Bolton. This partnership introduces the "Boltarian," a new persona for the game's iconic Barbarian character, complete with a mullet and handlebar mustache.

The collaboration features a special music video where Michael Bolton performs a new rendition of his classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," alongside the Boltarian. This video is specifically targeted at players who have drifted away from Clash Royale, aiming to reignite their interest in the game.

But the surprises don't end with the music video. Fans can also enjoy this unique version of the song on various music streaming platforms. While there's no word yet on a rewards campaign to lure back lapsed players, Supercell seems to be banking on the charm and vocal prowess of Michael Bolton and the Boltarian to do the trick.

Sing to win 'em over

While the collaboration is undoubtedly quirky and entertaining, it's unclear whether a parody music video alone will be enough to bring back former players. Supercell has a history of engaging celebrity partnerships, from Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans to Gordon Ramsay in Hay Day, but this latest venture with Michael Bolton might be their most unexpected yet.

As amusing as the Boltarian and his musical counterpart are, a more robust in-game promotion or return campaign might be necessary to truly win back the hearts of lapsed players.
