The game, which was dropped by publishers Vivendi following its merger with Activision, was subsequently picked up by Electronic Arts - however, Activision claims the rights had been transferred improperly.
According to Edge Online, Double Fine is now filing a counter-claim against Activision, with DF's Caroline Esmurdoc suggesting that the publisher is attempting to kill off the game.
"Now that we've found a publisher and the game is getting sensational coverage, they want to stop its release.

Brutal Legend, which features the vocals of Jack Black, is due to be released for the 360 and PS3 in October.
