Brendon Small, the creator of Metalocalypse, the hit cartoon show on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, revealed to the Wall Street Journal that a game based on the crazy show is in the works. We’ve known a game was in the development, but now it’s, like, all official and stuff. It’s going to be published by Konami and will be out for XBLA and PSN.
The game is called Metalocalypse: Dethgame, follows a band of roadies fighting in the service of Dethklok and Dethklok's music will of course be featured in the game. Not much else is known at this point, but we should be hearing more info on it when Cartoon Network and Konami announce Metalocalypse: Dethgame at San Diego Comic-Con later this week.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
