Universal Music Group and Gameloft are shaking up the live experience with the mobile game “Queen: Rock Tour”: taking the stage, becoming a rock legend and celebrating the 50th anniversary of Queen is now possible!
50 years after the creation of the group, Queen remains one of the most popular groups in the world today, transcending multiple generations of fans. 2021 marks a Queen Golden Jubilee that the band was hoping to celebrate with fans. A massive 29-date European stadium and arena tour planned for this year has been forced to be delayed to 2022 due to sanitary reasons.
Queen: Rock Tour, the first official Queen game on mobile, allows fans to wait before the band returns on stage. Queen’s music has been featured in major mobile music games before, but for the first time ever the band will be releasing their own dedicated mobile experience in Queen: Rock Tour.
Queen: Rock Tour is a game bringing together Universal Music Group and Gameloft. It is a perfect illustration of the unique experience that arise from the cooperation between two businesses of the Vivendi group, the combination of the music of a legendary group and the game representing fantastic entertainment for the public.
