January 8, 2009, 15 years ago
As previously reported, actor Jack Black is secretly working with game developer Tim Shafer for three years on Brütal Legend, in which players can slay enemies by cranking out heavy metal music. A number of metal superstars are set to lend their voices to the game, including Rob Halford from JUDAS PRIEST, Lemmy Kilmister from MOTÖRHEAD and Ronnie James Dio from BLACK SABBATH.
Worthplaying.com has issued the following update on the game:
"Brütal Legend is a third person Action/Adventure game starring Jack Black in the role of roadie Eddie Riggs, who sets on an epic quest to build an army of rockers with only a broad axe, a big block V8 and his faithful guitar in hand.
Brütal Legend tells the tale of Eddie Riggs, played by Jack Black, who is drawn back through time to a mythical world dripped in Rock and Roll folklore; where great Metal titans once ruled and power chords rang from the countryside for all to hear. 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. From this springs the most hellacious army man has ever seen, and thus brings this ancient world into the Age of Metal.
Brütal Legend will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 fall 2009.
