Brütal Legend‘s Rocktober release appears to be safely on schedule, as a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge has tentatively denied Activision’s request to delay the game. The rival publisher sued developer Double Fine in June, claiming ownership to Brütal Legend.

The Associated Press reports that Judge Craig Karlan told Activision attorneys he “can’t say there’s a likelihood of success here,” but hasn’t ruled on either side’s competing lawsuits.
As previously noted, we think the case should have been thrown out of court based on superior wit. But our version of the legal system would probably involve something Thunderdome-esque as well. Not sure you want Judge Kotaku on the case.
