Double Fine Reclaims Rights to Iron Brigade

Double Fine has regained control of the rights to Iron Brigade & plans to give it a much needed overhaul

If your a fan of the indie gaming scene than games from Double Fine are probably a proud part of your collection. Developer and publisher of titles like Broken Age, Massive Chalice, and more they’ve become the poster child of crowd-funded gaming. Proving that you can make a high quality game driven by the community that has spawned so many other campaigns. Their runaway hits have shot them up the ranks in the game development world and this week they took back one they lost.

Today Double Fine was proud to announce that they had regained full intellectual property rights to Iron Brigade, allowing them to once again publish the game under their name. Released in 2011 Iron Brigade quickly gained popularity with players with its mix of mecha, tower defense, and strategy gameplay. Iron Brigade also caught the attention of places like IGN that said “Its skillful blend of witty writing, fun shooting, and tactical tower defense makes for hours of replayable gameplay.”

Following its release Iron Brigade was passed onto another developer who didn’t manage the game the way that fans or Double Fine were expecting, leading Double Fine to take back the reigns. The games creator Brad Muir could not be more excited about today’s announcement saying that:

“The great thing about this change is that now there are no obstacles to us creating the best possible experience for players,” He continued on to say that “We have fixed all known issues as well as provided a great matchmaking experience for multiplayer. Vlad and his Monovision Menace are on the move again! In the best possible way!”

Muir’s announcement about the updates to Iron Brigade will probably be the biggest source of excitement for fans. Released on Steam today the update fixes all of the known bugs, makes huge improvements, and most importantly replaces the matchmaking system. The games original matchmaking system is being tossed out replaced by the Steam matchmaking system. In order to celebrate this major update Double Fine has put Iron Brigade on sale for 80% off.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.

E3 is long gone, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have any exciting video game events this summer.

In a recent tweet, Keighley assured his followers that a large number of fans will be present at the event, both in person and online.
