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

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

The Barboltian sports a fresh mullet and handlebar mustache, adding to the absurdity of this unexpected pairing. This isn't just a one-off video; the song will also be available on major music streaming platforms.

A Novel Approach to Player Retention?

While the collaboration is undeniably humorous and quirky, its effectiveness in attracting lapsed players remains to be seen. The music video is specifically targeted at this audience, but Supercell hasn't yet announced any accompanying in-game rewards or promotions. The hope is that the Barboltian's vocal charms will be enough to lure them back.

While the novelty of the collaboration is undeniable, a simple music video might not be enough to reignite the passion of inactive players. Hopefully, Supercell has further incentives planned to truly entice those who've wandered away.
