Attorneys for Activision notified the court Wednesday that they had reached a settlement over the release of Brutal Legend. Activision had sued San Francisco-based developer Double Fine Productions to try to stop the October release of by rival Electronic Arts. Activision claimed that it still owned the rights to the game and that Double Fine failed to deliver it on time. Double Fine countersued, claiming Activision terminated its agreement to release the game and was trying to kill it to protect its lucrative Guitar Hero franchise.
