Now that all the legal drama with Activision has been cleared up, Brütal Legend (PS3, Xbox 360) is on course for its October Rocktober release. Before the game hits retail, gamers will be able to catch a taste of the gameplay early via a demo just announced by publisher Electronic Arts.

If you'll remember, Activision slapped Double Fine Productions with a lawsuit concerning Brutal Legend (PS3, Xbox 360) back in June. The lawsuit cast a shadow over the game's planned October release, but now it seems everything's finally good to go.

Yes, Brütal Legend (PS3, Xbox 360) will be getting DLC. We just don't know what kind yet. Speaking to VG247 at an EA spring showcase event in London, all Brütal Legend creator Tim Schafer could say without PR guys taping his mouth shut was that the DLC will be "something awesome".

Electronic Arts has announced the North American and European release dates for Double Fine Productions' hard-rocking, face-melting, umlaut-laden Brütal Legend (PS3, Xbox 360). I bet Tim Schafer is one happy dude right now.

The title says it all, really. Unless you want me to waste your time with filler text again? Oh, wait.

Let's start off today with some good news. Brutal Legend - the Tim Schafer game starring Jack Black as a Rock and Roll folklore hero - has been in publishing limbo for a while, but now Electronic Arts has announced that they are picking up the rights to the game. Awesome.

As the dust settles on the Activision Blizzard merger, all the games that were dropped as a result of it have since found new homes with other publishers. All except Brutal Legend (PS3, Xbox 360). Producer Double Fine insists that publishers are interested in their game but Activision Blizzard keeps blocking their attempts to finalize a deal.

And here I was thinking that Electronic Arts finally loosened up. John Riccitiello, EA's CEO, recently remarked in an interview that Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend (the one with Jack Black) is a "significant creative risk." Awww. Hope a publisher picks up the game soon.

When's Brutal Legend (PS3 and Xbox 360) coming out, you wonder? We're thinking the same, too. Although our guess is that it's gonna be as soon as they find that one publisher who'll take the game under its wing. They're on the hunt for a publisher, yes. How's it going thus far?

Those looking for more details about Double Fine's Jack Black-starring heavy metal action title, Brutal Legend, will have to wait until after E3. Creator Tim Schafer has confirmed that the game will not be appearing during the annual gaming trade show. More in the full article.
