Iron Maiden releasing a FTP mobile RPG - Summer 2016

[BORTZ]

Iron Maiden, the band who's legacy spans multiple decades, recently released a new album "Book of Souls". The music video for the hit single song is video game inspired, shown in mediums from different eras of the gaming generations. The video follows Eddie through an urban Donkey Kong level, a slum version of Contra, and finally a stop motion Clay fighters looking stage where he fights the "Beast".
Even if you don't like Iron Maiden's music, I suggest muting the video and watching it anyways. Its pretty good.

Following the success of their new found realm of video games, the surprising announcement came today that Iron Maiden are releasing a FTP mobile RPG this summer.

Battle as Eddie in his many guises across worlds inspired by the rich lore and music of Iron Maiden – one of the most iconic and influential bands of all time.

A mysterious force has shattered Eddie’s soul and scattered the shards. Travel through time and space collecting the pieces as you encounter a cast of dramatic and engaging characters.

A powerful soundtrack enhances gameplay, using songs spanning Iron Maiden’s entire career, including previously unheard live recordings adapted for the game by engineer Tony Newton under the close scrutiny of Steve Harris.

I am intregued to say the least. I have been a Maiden fan since I accidentally found them while searching for "Iron Man" on Limewire years ago. Now, I might be a fair weather fan, but I will certainly check this out once it hits the market.

Now that video I promised you:

Too much computering it seems -- I read that as FTP as in file transfer.

Anyway bound to be better than the last band themed game I played

I'm a HUGE Iron Maiden fan, bought the TBoS on vynil, have bought tickets to the tour, have t-shirts, mugs and whatnot, but I'm kind of disapointed that this is not going to be on pc. I sort of understand it not being on consoles, but it would make sense to release it on pc... Oh well, we still have the Speed of Light minigame.
