    Following a series of hit action sports titles for Red Bull Media House, Warhammer
40,000: Carnage, a Games Workshop ARPG, and Food Battle: The Game for YouTube sensations
SMOSH, Roadhouse Interactive's development and publishing divisions have been working hand
in hand with Iron Maiden and their Phantom Music Management team, who have granted
unparalleled access to the vaults in order to create a truly authentic Iron Maiden game.

    Developed in close collaboration with Iron Maiden's management, players take on the
role of the band's iconic mascot, Eddie, in his many forms - each with unique abilities.
Players explore new worlds, travel through time, and battle a cast of dramatic and
engaging characters drawn from the expansive catalogue of Maiden's albums and art.
Gameplay is enhanced with a soundtrack using songs spanning the band's entire career,
including previously unheard live recordings of Iron Maiden classics adapted for the game
by engineer Tony Newton under the close scrutiny of bassist and founding member Steve
Harris.

    "We always thought Maiden's music and imagery with Eddie could be perfect for gaming
and it's something we have been looking at doing again since Ed Hunter in 1999. Now
in 2016 it can all be done on a smartphone which makes it even more accessible for all our
fans and also all the gamers out there," comments Harris.

    Iron Maiden's latest album, The Book of Souls, was released in September 2015 to
popular and critical acclaim, hitting the #1 spot in over 40 countries and reinforcing
their position as one of the most relevant and influential bands in music today. This year
they will embark on the The Book of Souls World tour and with fan excitement at fever
pitch it's the perfect time to expand Iron Maiden's legend into gaming.

    Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast will be available later this year on iOS and Android
platforms. See http://www.ironmaidenlegacy.com for ongoing releases about the game.
