Iron Brigade release date announced, finally

By Fred Dutton Published 17 November, 2011

Double Fine's latest out this month.

Double Fine's delayed action/strategy effort Iron Brigade launches its assault on Xbox Live Arcade from 30th November, the developer has announced.

The game launched in the US this summer as Trenched, though a trademark dispute then held up the European launch.

The game will now be renamed in all territories, and comes with an extra batch of content as a make-up offering.

"European players had to wait so long for this game, we wanted to make it up to them with awesome new features," commented project lead Brad Muir.

"We added a brand new, incredibly challenging infinite Survival Mode with ten new pieces of high-powered loot, along with a new leaderboard to track players on this Survival Mission."

Muir explained why the name change took so long to process earlier this week, blaming Microsoft red tape for the wait.

    It's about damn time!

    It's too damn late, more like. As much as I like Double Fine (Psychonauts is still one of my favourite games ever), I'm not able to find time for this around everything else that's out now, so at best I'll wait til it's in a sale. Sucks, I know, but I'm not a charity and I'm not going to buy this now when it'll probably have been half price at some point by the time I get around to playing it.

    Hooray! I remember wanting to buy this before going away in July.

    Now just bring it on PC too, like Costume Quest.

    I'll be interested once it hits 600 points.

    Got about 4k points saved for the xmas sales.

    Good for them, and us I guess. BTW didn't they announced an Xpac for this the last month?:|

  • ShadowScribe #7 6 months ago

    As a good will gesture they should reduce the price to around 800 points.

    What is very strange though is that they were not allowed to call this game Trenched yet the Wii released a game the other week called Trenches: Generals. It even takes place in WW1 like the silly polish board game that caused all the problems.
