Because, Iron Maiden are gamers too.

Iron Maiden has announced that along with 50cc Games and Roadhouse Interactive they will be dropping Iron Maiden: Legacy of of the Beast this summer on IOS and Android platforms.

I'm gonna be honest here, and say that I'm not entirely sure what the specifics mean because I am not a gamer myself, but the bands website says "Iron Maiden: Legacy of of the Beast is an action-packed, free-to-play RPG steeped in Iron Maiden mythology" and that the band and their management "have granted unparalleled access to the vaults in order to create a truly authentic Iron Maiden game."

Essentially  "players take on the role of the band’s iconic mascot, Eddie, in his many forms - each with unique abilities. Players explore new worlds, travel through time, and battle a cast of dramatic and engaging characters drawn from the expansive catalogue of Maiden’s albums and art. Gameplay is enhanced with a soundtrack using songs spanning the band’s entire career, including previously unheard live recordings of Iron Maiden classics adapted for the game."
