There will also be a series of iconic venues to rock out in as well across different countries such as London, Tokyo, Houston, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

There are also music trivia facts and images of the band to unlock as you play through the game.

Discussing the game, Cedric Ratajczak, Creative Director at Gameloft for brands said: “Our ambition was to push the boundaries of music and gaming with a fun and rewarding experience that would put players in Queen shoes at pivotal points in their career and make them perform in real-time Queen's live music unlike ever before.

Ratajczak added: “The creative challenge was to modernize the traditional rhythm-game genre with innovative and mobile-friendly twists inheriting from hyper-casual gaming, and with a unique and happy visual style that offers a timeless look to the band, appealing to the new generation of players. “

Queen: Rock Tour is available now over on the App Store and Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
