In a recent interview between MTV's Multiplayer blog and Tim Schafer of Doublefine Studios, it was revealed that the aforementioned developers would not be presenting Brütal Legend at next week's E3. The decision was reportedly prompted by today's shareholder approval of the Activision/Blizzard merger.
It's mildly disappointing that we won't be hearing any new information on Brütal Legend, but E3 hasn't really been about the fans for a long time. What makes this tidbit all the more interesting is the latter half of the statement, in which Schafer reveals the lack of a brutal presence at E3: "We're not going to be showing at E3, but soon after that we hope."
Hmm, what other large gaming event occurs shortly after E3? I vaguely remember something about pennies or something. Granted, this is all rampant speculation on my part, but if Doublefine decided to show off Brütal Legend at PAX rather than E3, then they know on which side their bread is buttered. What better way to debut your game than at a convention actually held for gamers rather than an exclusive media event?

Sounds like an awesome premise, I'm just curious as to what type of game it is. I'm guessing a platformer like Pyschonaughts, but I could be wrong. Anyone know what it is?
This is one of my most anticipated titles of the year.
I'm confident destructoid will keep us up on Brutal Legend news.
it's still gonna rock (no pun intended) when it does come out
I didn't hear any news about the development for awhile and feared that it might have been put on hold or scrapped. So, a minor delay, but at least I'm assured that we will get our hands on it eventually now.
P.S. Why is it when an article is in more than one category (360, PS3, DS, etc.), only the first one from the database (typically XBox 360) shows up next to the MOAR folder?
