Iron Maiden originally launched their Legacy Of The Beast mobile game in 2016 and, after eight years, is shutting it down. According to the game's studio Navigator Games, Legacy Of The Beast is in its final month, though the studio is working on other new projects with the band. As for the legacy of Legacy Of The Beast, an eight year run is pretty damn good! That and all the band collaborations they had – from Ghost and Powerwolf to Arch Enemy and Anthrax, and way more – over the years certainly put it in headlines quite a bit.
"As the band's 2023/24 'The Future Past' tour concludes in Brazil this weekend, we're reminded of this games' incredible achievements — notably having a tour inspired by, and named after, it," wrote Navigator Games. "Complete with multiple onstage worlds, the Iron Maiden 'Legacy Of The Beast' tour played to over three million fans, running from 2018 to 2022, circumnavigating the globe — headlining some of the biggest festivals and stadiums, including Rock In Rio, Hellfest, Download and Wacken Open Air, to name but a few. It was by far the most exciting and ambitious way to promote a video game ever — contributing to its incredible longevity and popularity with over six million players as the greatest heavy metal game ever.
"As far as the future goes, our team is continuing to work on new projects with Iron Maiden that we are excited to share with you somewhere down the line. We must, however, bid farewell to this chapter first and to do that we want to celebrate the incredible legacy that we've all built together with you. So now it's time to dust off those flight cases one last time and end with a bang and a momentous end of tour party!
"Come with us on a 4-week celebration of Legacy Of The Beast!

"We want to thank all of our Troopers for their loyalty, passion and dedication by making this the most legendary celebration of Iron Maiden and our game Legacy Of The Beast.
"Here's what you need to know: Cash only in-app purchases are removed, free giveaway packs have been added and are available all month. All in-game currency should be used by December 31, 2024, as Iron Maiden: Legacy Of The Beast will neither be downloadable nor playable after that date.
"Thank you for your continued commitment and passion for all things Iron Maiden."
