Brutal Legend Lawsuit Settled, Free To Rock October

Activision and Brutal Legend developer Double Fine Productions have reached a settlement over the release of the video game, wrapping up months of totally lame litigation and all but ensuring the game’s safe release this fall.

According to a report from the Associated Press on the matter, Activision’s legal team informed a Los Angeles Superior Court of the settlement, but have not yet disclosed details on the agreement. A hearing was scheduled today, following a delayed ruling from the court.

Activision filed suit against Double Fine in June, claiming still existing rights to the game, despite EA’s investment in the action adventure game.
