Brutal Legend developer Double Fine has made the next move in the continuing battle between the studio (along with their current publisher Electronic Arts) and the game's former publisher Activision. Last week, Double Fine filed a countersuit againt Activision, contending that Activision's initial lawsuit was filed with the intent to directly harm Double Fine and the release of Brutal Legend, currently scheduled for October 2009.
In a statement release by Double Fine, CEO Caroline Esmurdoc writes, "Now that we've found a publisher and the game is getting sensational coverage, they want to stop its release. Double Fine's countersuit is a demonstration of our intention to fight for this game - Activision will not kill 'Brutal Legend.'"
