Dan Reynolds and his brother Mac Reynolds are releasing a new PC video game called Last Flag on April 17, 2026. The title arrives as the duo expands their creative portfolio beyond music and into interactive entertainment.
The launch marks the first major foray by a mainstream music act into game development — a move that could diversify revenue streams and broaden fan engagement. Industry analysts said that artists have increasingly turned to digital experiences to stay relevant, citing high‑profile collaborations such as Travis Scott’s virtual concert in Fortnite.
Last Flag is a strategy‑action title that draws on the brothers’ childhood love of retro gaming. The project took five years to develop[1]. Gameplay blends puzzle‑solving with narrative choices, allowing players to explore themes of teamwork and perseverance that echo the band’s lyrical motifs. Dan Reynolds said the game reflects his early fascination with classic arcade titles, and Mac contributed to the design of the game’s visual aesthetic.
The game launched on PC digital storefronts worldwide on the same day Bloomberg said the release. It is available for download on platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store, priced at $19.99. Early player feedback highlights the game’s polished graphics and an original soundtrack that incorporates motifs from Imagine Dragons’ catalog. The developers have pledged post‑launch updates, including additional levels and community challenges.
The video‑game market is crowded, with thousands of new titles competing for players' attention each year. By entering the space, the Reynolds brothers hope to leverage their brand to attract both gamers and music fans. While AAA studios command massive budgets, indie projects often succeed by offering niche experiences and strong storytelling. Last Flag’s blend of music and gameplay aims to differentiate it from the sea of conventional releases.
Bloomberg said that both Dan and Mac Reynolds are actively involved in the project, while a Yahoo Entertainment story focuses only on Dan and does not mention his brother. The discrepancy underscores how media coverage can shape public perception of collaborative efforts. Nevertheless, the brothers have appeared together in promotional videos, suggesting a joint venture.
