Heavy metal game Brütal Legend has landed a new publisher. Electronic Arts announced that they've added Full Throttle designer Tim Schafer's latest game to its stable.

“The quality and creativity of the games EA Partners has been involved with make it a perfect home for our baby, Brütal Legend. Some people were starting to wonder if the saga of Eddie Riggs would ever see the light of day, but now I think it’s clear that this game, like Metal itself, cannot be killed!” said Schafer in the press release. His company Double Fine Productions is the developer.

The third-person action-adventure game stars Jack Black as Eddie Riggs, a roadie who must battle evil in a mystical Rock & Roll world with his trusty guitar and battle axe. Legend will hit stores in Fall 2009 for Xbox 360 and PS3.
