With yesterday’s announcement that Dream Theater will indeed be making The Astonishing into a game, Iron Maiden have formally announced that they will be unveiling their brand new project, Legacy Of The Beast. 

Built from the idea that was spawned when the band released their single last year for “Speed of Light“, the video which had Eddie “playing” various different incarnations of himself spawned a game in itself. After having watched the video for the track you were able to play an 8-Bit level of the game in the Killers era Maiden, now going one step further the band will be unveiling the full game. 

The full game will be a free to play RPG, where a mysterious force is intent on destroying Eddie our Iron Maiden mascot. Beginning with no powers as you advance through each level, slowly but surely you regain your powers. With the games soundtrack being provided by the band, the landscapes and levels will be based upon the folklore of the Iron Maiden worlds with each level having track specific sections for their surroundings. Along with previously unreleased live versions specifically adapted for the game. Though the video below doesn’t reflect the game play of the game it’s a brilliant little teaser trailer.
