We've been following the sad tale of Brash Entertainment's brief life as a game publisher. The upstart company shut down last month with a number of movie and TV based titles still in the works. One of those games was actually finished just before Brash's shutdown. The Tale of Despereaux, based on the upcoming CGI film, was pretty much done for the PC and other platforms.Now Variety is reporting that Atari, who is making a habit of getting games that have been dumped or orphened by other publishers, has grabbed the publishing rights to The Tale of Despereaux game and will quickly ship it to stores on Dec. 19. How quickly was this deal made? It's so quick that the game will still have the Brash Entertainment logo on the front. The fate of other in-development Brash titles is still unknown, however.
