Metalocalypse game may be in the works photo

We like Adult Swim's Metalocalypse. A lot. But a video game about Brendon Small's and Tommy Blacha's animated series about the worlds biggest (and most ridiculous) death metal band, Dethklok?

No stranger to videogames (the "fictional" band's track "Thunderhorse" appeared in Guitar Hero II), we've been hearing that there are bigger plans in the works, specifically a digital download title for a platform like Xbox LIVE Arcade. While the series' animators, Titmouse Inc., recently started a game studio, it doesn't look like it will be developing the title.

In our interview at GDC, when the subject was brought up, they simply wouldn't comment. But in a recent interview with G4TV.com, they confirm that a game is in the works... just not with Titmouse Games. We followed up with Cartoon Network a few weeks back to clarify.

"There's nothing we can say at this time," we were told by a rep.

Now, a trademark (via superannuation) has been filed by Cartoon Network for Metalocalypse: Dethgame for a "downloadable video game distributed via the internet," which seems to fit in with what we've been hearing.

This fall, a new Dethklok album will hit stores alongside the Metalocalypse's season 3 premiere... perhaps we'll be hearing more on this title soon.

Most brutal game evar.
I'd laugh my ass off if it was just their album for Rock Band.
However, I'd buy the shit out of that.

Hopefully the game play would make the player's head explode, and Dethklok would get points.

OMFG YES! I mentioned in a comment a couple weeks ago the appalling lack of a Metalocalypse game, funny that. Please get made & please be good. Too bad Dethklock couldn't be NPCs in Brutal Legend. How perfect & funny would that be, huh?

Also, as always, you're like a ray of sunshine embodied in a comment Kyousuke.

First, they made coffee metal. Now, they will be making gaming metal! This game will be the most metal game in the history of games. So metal it will melt my face off.

"We're here to make coffee metal. We will make everything metal! Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity!"

Whoohoo, fuck yeah.
