Brutal Legend Dated

EA today sent word that their upcoming rock-fest, Brutal Legend, will be available in the UK (and we presume Europe) from October 16th.

"Brütal Legend tells the tale of Eddie Riggs, played by Jack Black. The ultimate roadie, Eddie is the first person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or stages rigged, and has a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every heavy metal album cover, and the lyrics those albums contained. One night, a stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious, and he awakens in a world that looks very strange yet oddly familiar, a world where every heavy metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life, and where the evil emperor Doviculus and his demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans. When an oppressed people request Eddie’s knowledge of modern warfare, he pulls from his own experience in the only occupation he’s ever had, a roadie for a heavy metal band, and under his command, this barbaric force of hot-rods, Marshall stacks, leather, and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of metal."

Tim Schafer, el Presidenté of Double Fine Studios was made up, "Wooo! Having an official release date is awesome ... and how cool is it that EA threw down the dough to have the name of an entire month changed to Rocktober?"

Wishful thinking Tim. Brutal Legend is available October 16th in the UK. No word on the North American release date, but chances are October 13th sounds about right.
