MCV Staff 11th August 2010 Publishing

Tim Schafer has revealed the first of his studio’s four miniature digital titles – following EA’s decision to pull production on a Brutal Legend sequel.

Publisher THQ has signed two of Schafer’s four games, the first being Costume Quest – a downloadable Halloween-based adventure RPG, set for release on 360 and PS3 in October.

Schafer, the Double Fine studio president, revealed last month that his team had been covertly concepting numerous small digital titles whilst developing the EA-published Brutal Legend.
