Report: Activision ‘Blocking’ Brutal Legend Release
Wondering why we haven’t heard of a publishing deal yet for
Brutal Legend? According to one report, Activision Blizzard is to blame.
Variety reporter Ben Fritz says that sources at Double Fine, the developer of Psychonauts and the awesome rock-flavored action game illustrated above, told him that the publisher is acting as an “impediment” to the process of finding
Brutal Legenda new home. Activision Blizzard owns the rights to the game following the merger, but has declined to publish it. Several such games have found new publishers already, but for some reason,
Brutal Legendis getting caught up in red tape.
Hopefully whatever’s going on gets resolved posthaste, as I think we’d all like to be playing this game sooner rather than later. Especially considering that Double Fine’s last game had to go through the same sort of publisher hand-off.
