According to The Wall Street Journal, Konami and the Cartoon Network will later this week take time out of their busy Comic-Con schedules to announce a new game based on Metalocalypse.

The Adult Swim series, which stars five very stupid, very metal band members, isn't the most obvious franchise to be turned into a game, but then, the show's popular. A game will make them money. They'll find a way.

Not much yet in the way of details - that'll come later in the week - but we do know that the show's creator, Brendon Small, had a hand in it, so at least it should be reasonably faithful to the source material.
