Rocktober has finally arrived and you know what that means; it’s time for the epic action game from visionary developer Tim Schafer - Brütal Legend! Brütal Legend features an all-star cast including Jack Black as the ultimate roadie, Eddie Riggs, along with Metal royalty such as Rob Halford, Lemmy Kilmister and Ozzy Osbourne.
Jack’s turn as Eddie Riggs recently caused quite a stir at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards and most recently at a press event held at the Key Club in Hollywood. Work has been going around the clock and insiders close to Schafer have described Brutal Legend as the chronicle of Eddie Riggs, a roadie of a virtuous metal band, pulled back in time to learn his true purpose. Offered the wealth and knowledge of an ancient kingdom in exchange for assembling a legion of his own design, the roadie commands a barbaric mob of demons, dragsters, amp stacks, leather, and chrome. Together they thunder across the land in the ultimate Tour of Destruction, driving the ancient world headlong into the Age of Metal.
Below you will find some rockin’ gameplay footage along with a video of the press conference and a hilarious interview with Jack Black decked out in his muscle suit as Eddie Riggs. Brutal Legend hits store shelves on October 13th, 2009.
