Double Fine Honors Ozzy Osbourne with Free Brütal Legend Giveaway

In a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, developers Double Fine Productions recently launched a special promotion on itch.io. For a limited time of 666 minutes, players could claim a free copy of their acclaimed title, Brütal Legend. This gesture honors Osbourne’s contribution to the game, where he lent his voice to the character of the Guardian of Metal and Dadbat.

The giveaway began at 2:00 AM Moscow time and concluded at 1:06 PM. This provided a brief window for fans to grab one of the most creatively unique games of the late 2000s.

About Brütal Legend

Brütal Legend stands out as a unique blend of action-adventure and real-time strategy, set in a dark fantasy world steeped in heavy metal lore. Beyond Ozzy Osbourne, the game features an impressive lineup of metal icons, including the late Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and Rob Halford of Judas Priest, among others, adding to its authentic rock and roll vibe.

The game’s story follows Eddie Riggs, a roadie dedicated to setting up stages for bands. After an unfortunate accident, Eddie finds himself transported to a supernatural realm where he is chosen to lead a rebellion. His mission: unite the militia and fight against the forces of darkness in the name of metal. The protagonist, Eddie Riggs, is famously voiced and modeled after actor and musician Jack Black, who perfectly embodies the game's comedic and rock-infused spirit.

Availability and Legacy

Initially released in the fall of 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Brütal Legend later made its way to PC via Steam, GOG, and itch.io in 2013. The game has garnered a cult following for its innovative gameplay, humor, and deep reverence for heavy metal culture.

For players, this giveaway offered a fantastic chance to experience a truly distinctive title that celebrates the world of metal, featuring beloved figures like Ozzy Osbourne. It’s a game that continues to resonate with fans, proving its enduring appeal long after its initial release.
