Something new to do during Covid lockdowns.
Queen: Rock Tour
Rock band Queen now has its own video game app, which will help fans suffer through the Covid-19 shutdowns. Queen: Rock Tour lets fans pretend that they themselves are playing Queen’s hits. It’s kind of like playing the Guitar Hero game, only with real Queen Songs.
Did you see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody? Did it get you feeling all nostalgic for the band Queen and its late headliner Freddie Mercury? Well this year marks the 50th anniversary of the official founding of the band. And its surviving members had plans to celebrate with massive 29-date European stadium and arena tour. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus forced them to delay the tour until 2022.
Queen: Rock Tour is the band’s first ever official game for Android and iOS devices. It marks the first time that the band will be releasing their own dedicated mobile experience
The game gives players a chance to experience the majesty and might of the Queen live experience on their phones supported by extensive attention to detail contributed by the official Queen archives and experts. “Be a Lockdown Rock Star! No turning back!!!” enthused Queen’s Brian May on the game launch.
It promises to allow users to fully immerse themselves into the world of Queen. Players progress and score points by playing along to 20 of their most popular hits including: Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, Radio Ga Ga, I Want to Break Free and We Are The Champions, whilst performing at 10 historic concert venues from around the world.
People can style their performances with over 40 official and iconic costumes from the band’s history and help unlock fun trivia facts and exclusive images from the official Queen archives, by scoring highly in the game.
