Beast Eddie Speculations

[Patrice-1201]

Speculation Time: June 6th: Beast Eddie joins the game... and possibly Night City as Episode 5 of the Comics is released...

Come to think of it, we haven't gotten preliminary notes yet which is odd. Either they're not yet ready to release the next update, or they're hiding something big from us and this is a teaser.

I don't think that's beast Eddie. Okay, hear me out. In that video, we get a view of two new characters: that beast thing, and a concert Eddie. I think that beast Eddie isn't an Eddie at all. I think that this is the meaning of this game's name: Legacy of the Beast. I think that thing is either some primordial form of the Beast we all know, or it's some greater force behind his evil. Or maybe he's the boss in the gauntlet, I don't know. Either way, I don't think that's an Eddie.

Interesting Theory Grim! I thought it was going to be the new Eddie for a new album that they were gonna preview a song or 2 on the current tour. Similar to what they did on the North American Final Frontier tour prior to that album coming out. That theories been disproven with no new songs on the current tour. I like the idea of a new cosmic force manipulating things. Hopefully that story will be fleshed out.

According to this I believe that is beast eddie. The article also states a few other toons that will be coming out such as 2 minutes to midnight eddie and icarus.

Nice article, thanks for sharing! I copied the 2 most important sentences for most of the players:

"Players of the game can also look forward to the introduction of "Beast Eddie", the latest incarnation of the band's famous mascot and star of their game..."

"Over the coming months fans can expect the arrival of favourites such as "Icarus", "Two Minutes to Midnight Eddie" and "Killers Eddie".

Woohoo!

"Killers Eddie", wait. Isn't that Eddie that is supposed to be Night City reward?

Good news - always thought this tour woudl be the catalyst for new stuff coming out....it may take a month or three but I am sure we will get what they have said in that post on blabbermouth. 2 Minutes is probably my favourtite Maiden tune of all time so very keen to get that toon for sure. Icarus is another fave as well so that too sounds like a winner - hopefully he has some cool art and moves linked to his character - sun melting the other team maybe? " minutes need to have a nuke like power/fury move...not very PC but he has to have that I would guess.

Night City will be good when it comes - no doubt a fair pile of folk will race to get it completed so it will likely last a week or two at most as something new - gauntlet sound like the longer term hook we need though. Once that all comes then I am hoping that new worlds are a bit easier to come by time wise! There are really no limits to what they can do for worlds - so many options and I am sure that there will be more to come - I really fancy seeing a 7th Son based world - it is a weird cover so it has lots of possibilities - same with Somewhere in Time - that would be awesome.

Trying not to get too carried away so lets see what the tour months that follow wil bring us.

Indeed it is so fingers crossed we see Night City soon - maybe next as early as June!

That would make sense perhaps, isn't the games 2 year anniversary coming up??
