Brütal Legend Officially Dated

For a game that had been previously in publisher-limbo since Activision’s merger with Vivendi last year – only to rise back up months later with EA now taking that role – hearing about a solid date for Tim Schafer’s latest is certainly refreshing. Sporting a Jack Black-voiced roadie attempting to fight his way through a rock-and-roll fantasy world, Brütal Legend should certainly have its own unique take on the third person action/adventure genre.

For us folks in the US, the game is slated for an October 13th, 2009 release. Our UK brethren will have to wait a a few days longer – an October 16th release, to be exact.
