Iron Maiden have teamed up with Disturbed for a new collaboration inside their “Legacy Of The Beast” mobile game. Disturbed’s mascot “The Guy” will appear in the game as part of a special “Disturbing Sciences” event, which will launch today (February 16) at 4:00pm PDT / 7:00pm EDT.
A press release offered more details:
“The game’s ‘Disturbing Sciences’ event is an ode to both bands’ lore taking its broad themes from the cover of Iron Maiden’s 1986 album ‘Somewhere In Time’ and ‘Disturbed: Dark Messiah’, a five-part comic book series where The Guy makes his comic book debut.
Over the years, The Guy has been depicted as an antihero, saving people from corporate corruption, often through violent means. In this new storyline, Cyborg Eddie and The Guy have been summoned through time and space to the Polvo Valley, a small town transformed into a hyper-sanitized, machine-driven industrial city, where Eddie and The Guy are dead-set on punishing the city’s corporate overlord, Brian Kek, and confronting the CEO at Kek Tower before discovering the depth of his hubris.”
Disturbed’s David Draiman added:
“Myself and the guys from Disturbed are humbled to be included in the ‘Legacy of the Beast’ game. We feel that The Guy is a worthy addition to the saga and we’re very happy to be a part of it … when we first saw the first concept pieces of how he would be integrated into the game it was thrilling for all of us, it’s still kind of surreal!
I love that our ‘Dark Messiah’ storyline from the Disturbed comic book series, {from the graphic novel} is being integrated into the video game series, I think they go hand and hand with one another. I love more people having the opportunity to play as The Guy… and battle the forces out there that deserve to have their asses handed to them.”
