Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda took to his web blog on Wednesday to tell fans about a new way to experience the band's music: via a new game for iphone/ipod touch. No word yet on a release date, but we're told is it will be soon. Plus it will include a new Linkin Park song. And while Mike doesn't name the game, going by a graphic on his blog it looks like it will be called "8-bit Rebellion."Here is what he had to say about the app: Many years ago, the world existed in 8-bit harmony...until PixxelKorp arrived. Now, underground forces are assembling to undo the evil corporation's mass-brainwashing campaign. You may be our only hope to lead the rebellion to victory!
The new Linkin Park game is on the way. I just got a new test-build of the game, and it's looking great. As you would expect, my bandmates and I worked hand-in-hand with the design team to create the look and content of the game. For fans of my art: you'll see some new and familiar characters come to life in this 8-bit-meets-hi-res virtual world.
In the game, you have been chosen by the rebellion to solve a mystery. Items have been stolen from the six leaders of the rebellion. Collecting these items is the rebellion's only hope to thwarting the plans of the evil PixxelKorp.
I can't give away too many details about the game just yet
but I can tell you this: for all the Linkin Park fans excited to hear new music, I have some big news for you: if you finish this game, you get more than just a credit screen.
You get a brand new Linkin Park song.
The game will be available on the iPhone and iPod touch soon. More to come
