Atari will publish the game based on the mouse tale, instead of the departed Brash Entertainment

According to a story in Variety, Atari will be publishing the video game adaptations of the upcoming animated film, The Tale of Despereaux for Wii and DS. Both versions were originally to be published by the now defunct company Brash Entertainment. The Wii version was being produced by Brash which successfully released the poorly reviewed Six Flags: Fun Park before going under. On the other hand, the DS version is developed by the Foundation 9 studio, Fizz Factor, and is entirely funded and produced by Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group.

Both versions of The Tale of Despereaux were scheduled to be released on December 2nd. It is unclear if the new publishing deal has had any effect on the release date, but both games should be on shelves before the animated feature film hits theaters on December 19th.
