Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions confirmed that a playable demo for their game Brutal Legend will be on offer prior release. The demo opens as Eddie awakes in the age of metal where he must learn how to use the powerful ancient axe, ‘The Separator’ and electrifying guitar ‘Clementine’ to unleash combo moves that destroy the demons of darkness.

“We just couldn’t wait,” said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. “Villagers have surrounded our offices with torches, demanding the game. So we’re releasing a demo and hope that this taste of metal will keep the mob at bay until Brütal Legend comes out this Rocktober.”

Brutal Legend is arriving for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on Oct. 13, 2009 in North America and on Oct. 16 in Europe.
