Brutal Legend Gets 'Rocktober' Release Date
by Chris Faylor, Apr 21, 2009 7:17am PDTPromising that Brutal Legend will "melt your face off," developer Double Fine and publisher EA today announced a firm release date for the metal-action game.
The tale of roadie Eddie Riggs' descent into a world "where every Heavy Metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life" hits North America in PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 form on October 13, followed by a European release October 16.
"Wooo! Having an official release date is awesome!" said Double Fine president and Grim Fandango creator Tim Schafer. "And how cool is it that EA threw down the dough to have the name of an entire month changed to Rocktober?"

Brütal Legend tells the tale of Eddie Riggs, played by Jack Black. The ultimate roadie, Eddie is the first person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or stages rigged, and has a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every heavy metal album cover, and the lyrics those albums contained. One night, a stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious, and he awakens in a world that looks very strange yet oddly familiar, a world where every heavy metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life, and where the evil emperor Doviculus and his demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans. When an oppressed people request Eddie’s knowledge of modern warfare, he pulls from his own experience in the only occupation he’s ever had, a roadie for a heavy metal band, and under his command, this barbaric force of hot-rods, Marshall stacks, leather, and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of metal.
Hmm sure sounds like it to me.
