Along with Cooper appearing in the game, the new dungeon event “Road Rats Forever” inspired by the singer’s latest album Road. The event take players down “a desolate highway” with Cooper and Maiden mascot Eddie as they head to their next show. Along the way, the duo 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 Cooper as a playable character when completing the levels. Also the singer‘s character can be unlocked for free by logging in on any seven days until December 15, which means unlocking Cooper himself on the seventh day.
