“I don’t think we’re averse to making sequels. I just think we haven’t had a real mega breakout hit. If Brutal Legend had done five million copies we’d probably still be working on Brutal Legend 2 right now. It would have been a slam dunk for EA to immediately sign it. So, I wouldn’t rule it out but there’s still this passion and hunger to make new shit here that I absolutely love. Tim is so good at attracting really creative talent. These four games – they’re so different, they’re so creative, they’re so out-there, and they don’t come from Tim. They come from the brains of other people who are here at the studio. And that’s super-cool, so I’d hope we can keep doing that.” – Iron Brigade project lead Brad Muir to Eurogamer on the possibility of sequels in Double Fine’s future.

Iron Brigade’s project lead Brad Muir has said not to expect as many game releases back-to-back from Double Fine in 2012, as the firm plans on implementing a more “staggered release schedule.”

No date or price for the DLC as yet, though. Nor is there still a date for the European release of the game, which has been held back due to a trademark dispute. It was due to release in September, as announced at gamescom.

Microsoft has filed a trademark with the USPTO for Iron Brigade, and the description says only that it is “computer software” and that it was filed on July 26. The site Fusible, which dug the application up, suggests it could be in reference to a Union army unit from the Civil War, the 150th anniversary of which is this year. We’ll just have to wait and see, we suppose. Thanks, Joystiq.
