Clash Royale bizarrely partners with Michael Bolton

Clash Royale has teamed up with Michael Bolton—yes, that Michael Bolton—in a surprising collaboration. The iconic Barbarian character has undergone a transformation, becoming the "Boltarian," complete with a new mullet and handlebar mustache. This partnership features a special music video for Bolton's hit song, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," specifically created to entice lapsed Clash Royale players.

This isn't just a quirky video; the song will also be available on major music streaming platforms. While there's currently no announced rewards campaign to lure back former players, Supercell is clearly banking on the Boltarian's vocal charms to do the trick.

The collaboration, following similar high-profile partnerships with Erling Haaland (Clash of Clans) and Gordon Ramsay (Hay Day), is undeniably unexpected and humorous. However, the effectiveness of a parody music video in re-engaging lapsed players remains to be seen. Hopefully, Supercell will supplement this with additional in-game promotions or a return campaign to truly capture the attention of former players.
