Shock-rock legend Alice Cooper has been added to the roster of playable characters in Iron Maiden’s Legacy of the Beast free-to-play mobile game.
The addition of Cooper comes with the new dungeon event “Road Rats Forever,” inspired by his latest album Road. The event will take players down “a desolate highway” with Cooper and Maiden mascot Eddie (in Phantom Eddie form) as they head to their next show. Along the way, they encounter “a gang who’ve turned a derelict gas station into a chop shop” and are forced to “bash a few heads along the way.”
Players can choose from four difficulties for the event and earn Alice Cooper as a playable character upon completion. Alternatively, the Alice Cooper character can be unlocked for free by logging in on any seven days until December 15th, unlocking Cooper himself on the seventh day.
Iron Maiden’s mobile RPG has a long history of rockstar collaborations, with Disturbed, Anthrax, Arch Enemy, Five Finger Death Punch, and Motörhead having all appeared in-game in some form. Over the years, the game has expanded to include 42 dungeons and six story worlds, with hundreds of characters (including over 100 Eddies based on Maiden album covers).
Meanwhile, Iron Maiden themselves are embarking on a North American tour next fall. Dubbed the “Future Past Tour,” the outing focuses on 1986’s Somewhere in Time album as well as their most recent effort, 2021’s Senjutsu. Get tickets here.
