Weezer<\/a> have shared a new online game<\/a> fittingly tied to their song \u201cThe End of the Game,\u201d a track off of the band\u2019s upcoming LP, Van Weezer<\/i>, out May 15th.<\/p>\n

The 8-bit game was designed by Jason Oda and, per a statement, is an \u201code to the boss levels that are notoriously impossible to beat\u201d in Eighties and Nineties games like Street Fighter II<\/i>, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, <\/i>and Punch Out<\/i>. As such, after picking your player \u2014 one of the four members of Weezer \u2014 you\u2019re transported through all 100 levels of the game in a flash before facing off against the final boss, a giant alien. While the alien is beatable, it turns out the actual final boss is the walk across a booby trap-filled path to a treasure chest that\u2019s impossible to reach.<\/p>\n

Weezer released \u201cThe End of the Game\u201d<\/a> (the song) in the fall, and so far it\u2019s the only song they\u2019ve shared from Van Weezer<\/i>. In an interview with Beats 1 host Zane Lowe around the time of the song\u2019s release, frontman Rivers Cuomo described the new album as \u201cLike The Blue Album<\/i>, but with more riffs. Metal, hard-rock riffs. But it\u2019s still pretty catchy pop-rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of now, Weezer are still scheduled to embark on the <\/i>Hella Mega stadium tour<\/a> with Green Day and Fall Out Boy this summer, with a European leg scheduled for June and a North American run set to kick off in July. It\u2019s still possible, however, the tour could be canceled or postponed due to ongoing concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
