Supercell has once again surprised the gaming community with an unexpected celebrity collaboration, this time bringing the legendary singer Michael Bolton into the world of Clash Royale. In a move that blends humor and nostalgia, Bolton has teamed up with the iconic Barbarian character, transforming him into the "Boltarian" for a unique rendition of his classic hit, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You."

This collaboration isn't just a fun twist; it comes with a specially crafted music video aimed at rekindling the interest of lapsed Clash Royale players. In the video, the Barbarian sports a new look, complete with a mullet and handlebar mustache, embracing his new persona as the Boltarian. Fans can also enjoy Bolton's revamped song on various music streaming platforms, extending the reach of this quirky partnership beyond the game itself.

While there's no accompanying rewards campaign announced yet, Supercell seems to be relying on the charm and vocal prowess of Michael Bolton to lure back former players. The strategy is bold, but whether it will be enough to reignite the passion of those who have drifted away remains to be seen.

Sing to win 'em over

The initial shock of seeing Michael Bolton in a gaming context may wear off quickly, especially given Supercell's recent track record of high-profile collaborations, such as Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans and Gordon Ramsay in Hay Day. While the parody music video is entertaining, its effectiveness in drawing players back to Clash Royale might be limited without additional incentives.

If this collaboration has piqued your interest and you're considering returning to the game, don't dive back in blindly.
