Avenged Sevenfold have been working with Machinima and Jon Schnepp (who you may know from ’Metalocalypse’) on an animated ‘Hail To The King’ series which is set to be released on December 15!
The series will act as a back story to the band’s upcoming mobile game 'Hail To The King: Deathbat’
On Avenged Sevenfold’s blog, M. Shadows tells us a little about the upcoming game.
“While the game stands on its own in terms of the story and game play, we still wanted to add in some extras for our fans. In the game, you can unlock 16 pieces of never-seen-before artwork from all of our albums. There will also be 7 new Cam Rackam paintings available in the game. We also recorded 7 new songs. Now these aren’t metal songs, they are theme songs for each level and are done in an old-school video game fashion with a new-school twist. There will also be reimagined versions of older songs. Basically, we have not only packed the game with exciting gameplay, but also a lot of things for fans that might now be interested in a video game.”
Check out the trailer for the animated series below, and hopefully we can see the game sometime soon!
