Clash Royale bizarrely partners with Michael Bolton

Clash Royale's Unexpected Collaboration: Michael Bolton and the Barboltian!

Supercell continues its trend of surprising celebrity collaborations, this time pairing Clash Royale with the one and only Michael Bolton. The result? A unique music video featuring the Barbarian, reimagined as the "Barboltian," performing a new version of Bolton's classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You."

This isn't just a silly video; the song will be available on major music streaming platforms. The music video itself is specifically targeted at lapsed Clash Royale players, showcasing the Barboltian's new mullet and handlebar mustache.

While there's currently no announced rewards campaign to incentivize returning players, Supercell is clearly banking on the Barboltian's (and Bolton's) charm to lure them back.

Will it Work?

The collaboration is undeniably quirky and humorous. While the initial surprise is significant, the effectiveness of a parody music video in attracting lapsed players remains questionable. Hopefully, Supercell will supplement this with additional in-game promotions or a return campaign to truly reignite interest.

For those tempted back to Clash Royale by this unusual collaboration, be sure to consult our updated tier list to optimize your gameplay strategy.
