Iron Brigade Finally Dated for Europe

Iron Brigade Finally Dated for Europe

The game formerly known as Trenched

Written by litepink on 17 November 11 at 23:21

After much turbulence, the arcade game Iron Brigade is finally making its way to Europe, arriving later this month according to Eurogamer

The game was originally released under the title http://www.trueachievements.com/Trenched-xbox-360.htm in North America back in June, but was delayed in Europe due to a trademark issue with a board game titled Trench. The creators of the board game have some aspirations of a video game of their own sometime in the future.

Instead of going through a bitter battle (which they may have lost), they decided back in August to rename the game to Iron Brigade for Europe, and later for all territories.

While trademark issues may have held things initially, the process was slowed immensely due to renaming complications with Microsoft said Project Lead Brad Muir to XBLAFans:

There are so many different departments that it has to cruise through at Microsoft in order to enable the name change. It's pretty ridiculous. They sent us the preliminary plan on how that is going to work and I didn't even know there were that many divisions. Xbox LIVE is a very complex machine, I'd say. There's a bunch of different moving parts and it has to go through a bunch of checkpoints.It appears that the battle has been won, and Iron Brigade will finally arrive in Europe November 30th. This should pave the way for the two sets of promised DLC pieces coming in the unspecified future.

Good Lord, finally! For one, it'll be great to finally play this with friends from the U.K. and other parts of the E.U. that never got the game. Or well, those who didn't go out of their way to use a fake American account. laugh Not to mention, with this (free) update on the 30th, they are adding the new Survival Mode to the game. I've been dying for that, as have the countless others who enjoyed this game. And then not long after, they'll finally be able to put out the campaign DLC. This is one of my all-time favorite games for 360, and finally seeing more content for it makes me joyous.

Oh and, I hope they decide to do a sale sometime shortly following the European release. It'll help ease the tensions of many people over there, and they'll feel much more inclined to pay 600/800msp after such an insane delay. Not to mention the exposure that would bring, sparking interest in the title again. I can't imagine they're selling many downloads per week at full price nowadays.

Too late for me I'm afraid, I'll pick it up in the Great Summer drought.

I really wanted this when it hit the states, ah well.

I'm hoping for DLC. It's been long enough; I imagine this legal trouble on the name is what held it up.

It's a great game. Retail quality. Double Fine is turning me into a fanboy.

I was really looking forward to this, but the timing is terrible with all the AAA titles coming out.
This will have to wait
