EA Has Brutal Legend
With the integration of Vivendi Games into Activision, the future of Brutal Legend was left uncertain. Thankfully, EA came to the rescue, announcing that they will publish Tim Schafer’s heavy metal third-person action/adventure game through its EA Partners label.
“This is awesome news!” said Double Fine Productions president Tim Schafer. “The quality and creativity of the games EA Partners has been involved with make it a perfect home for our baby, Brutal Legend. Some people were starting to wonder if the saga of Eddie Riggs would ever see the light of day, but now I think it’s clear that this game, like Metal itself, cannot be killed!”
The game stars rocker Jack Black as the main character who finds himself in a fantasy world filled with heavy metal and rock folklore. It is due out for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2009.
