Just when you thought you knew everything about heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, he shocks the world one last time: his passing this week at the age of 76 has inspired a legendary tribute like no other. Brütal Legend, the cult classic video game that pays homage to the heavy metal genre, is being offered for free—but only for 666 minutes!

Double Fine Productions, the creative minds behind this title, made the announcement on social media, revealing that the game will be available on Itch.io for this limited time to honor the Black Sabbath frontman who contributed his voice to the character known as The Guardian of Metal. Imagine that! Osbourne’s likeness and personality are woven into the very fabric of the game, embodying the spirit of rock and rebellion.

The rock icon passed away shortly after performing at his farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, leaving fans and fellow musicians grief-stricken. In the game, Osbourne joins a lineup of heavy metal royalty, including Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, and Lita Ford, making it a true celebration of the music that shaped generations.

Originally released in 2009, Brütal Legend is a unique blend of action-adventure and real-time strategy that stars Jack Black as Eddie Riggs, a roadie who gets transported to a fantastical heavy metal world. It’s a wild ride filled with over 100 metal songs, handpicked by Double Fine’s visionary Tim Schafer. Fans of the game know it not only for its engaging gameplay but also for the rich tapestry of metal culture it weaves through its narrative.

But here’s the catch: this incredible offer lasts only until 3 AM on July 24, which means fans and gamers alike need to act fast! As Double Fine puts it, “So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night…” With the clock ticking, it's a race against time for gamers to grab a piece of this metal tribute.

As the gaming community rallies to remember Osbourne’s contributions and celebrate his legacy, the music and gaming worlds collide in a fitting farewell to a true legend. So, whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of Brütal Legend while honoring the unforgettable Ozzy Osbourne.
