R&B star Mariah Carey to replace Kate Upton as Game of War advert actress

Apparently, Mariah Carey (yes, the singer) has signed a seven-figure sum to appear in a 30-second commercial for the free to play strategy game Game of War - Fire Age.

According to a report by TMZ, Carey will be replacing the American model Kate Upton as the new face of the game's promotional campaign.

It's said that Carey's music will feature in the commercial and that it'll be handled by Terminator Genisys director Alan Taylor.

You may remember that we previously reported on how Kate Upton's appearance in the Game of War commercials doubled the game's sales of in-app purchases.

Last we heard, Game of War was generating over $1 million a day. And with a star as big as Mariah Carey now replacing Upton, perhaps that figure will be increased further.
