Haaland becomes the Barbarian King! Man City star to appear in Clash of Clans as playable character after confirming partnership with popular mobile game

In an unprecedented collaboration, Haaland will become the iconic 'Barbarian King' character in Clash of Clans, marking the first time a real person has been immortalised in the game's virtual universe. From Wednesday, May 1st onwards, fans will have the opportunity to assume the role of Haaland and partake in thrilling football-themed challenges and adventures throughout the game.

Alongside Haaland's character, players can expect a plethora of football-inspired features, including special troop characters and medal events, enhancing the gaming experience with an immersive fusion of football and fantasy. As a long-time fan of Clash of Clans, Haaland has crafted his own impressive in-game village, which gamers can conquer.

"It's been tough to keep this one quiet, but I'm excited to finally be able to talk about this epic partnership with Clash of Clans," Haaland said. "I've been a huge fan of the game for a long time and know everything about it, so to appear as an in-game character is really cool."

With Haaland leading the charge as the Barbarian King, Clash of Clans looks poised to deliver unparalleled excitement and entertainment to its dedicated player base, ushering in a new era of gaming innovation and collaboration. However, the striker remains focused on his job at hand to propel City to a domestic double of the Premier League and the FA Cup with a clash against Wolves coming up next in the English top flight on Saturday.
