Costume Quest is headed for XBLA and PSN this Halloween

​We already knew that Brutal Legend developer Double Fine was working on four new games, and today the developer has revealed that at least two have found a home with publisher THQ.  Costume Quest is based on an idea by Double Fine's lead animator Tasha Harris, marking the first time a Double Fine product was lead by someone other than studio head Tim Schafer. We doubt that will be a turnoff to any Double Fine fans, as the screens for the game definitely maintain the quirky feel of the company's previous games.

About Costume Quest

Costume Quest is a rollicking Adventure/Role-Playing game that unfolds on Halloween night across seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhoods, a mysterious village carnival, and a monster-infested shopping mall. Created by Double Fine's lead animator, Tasha Harris, the game follows the adventure of a group of young friends who must rid their neighborhood of monsters using only their wits, their bravery, and their home-made costumes. Players go door-to-door collecting candy, points, cards, battle stamps and quest assignments as they prepare themselves for Combat Mode--where they transform into larger-than-life versions of their costumes. Each costume that comes-to-life provides its own unique set of superpowers that players will need to battle Halloween's worst monsters.
