Brütal Legend Rocking To Stores October 13

October... more like Rocktober, am I right? Wait, the press release already made that joke. Nevermind.

"First we need some speaker wire and a Tesla coil..."
EA and Double Fine dropped a note today letting the world know that Brutal Legend will be headbanging its way onto retail shelves on October 13 in North America, which I can tell you by using my amazing predictive powers (read: desktop calendar) is a typical release Tuesday, not the rarer and ominous release Friday variety. The game will follow along in Europe three days later.

The press release also included a quote from Double Fine mastermind Tim Schafer, and we would be remiss not to pass that along to you.

"Wooo! Having an official release date is awesome!” said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. “And how cool is it that EA threw down the dough to have the name of an entire month changed to Rocktober?"

The fevered development leading up to that release date may be somewhat less awesome, but based on the way the game is looking so far, I'm hopeful all that toil will be worth it.
