EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: deathspank
Irreverence? Thy name is DeathSpank! How can a game manage to tell an epic tale of ‘Six Noble Thongs of Virtue’ (forged by a master craftsman, no less), with a straight face, and get away with it?
It’s beyond me, but somehow the developers at Hothead Games have been able to release a stylish trailer for their new upcoming game, DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, explaining the history of the Six Thongs and how their power (…) has corrupted the ‘Order of the Thong’…
… Oh, and there’s gameplay from the new title in there as well:
Hothead Games has announced that a follow-up to the studio’s DeathSpank action RPG will release next month (September) over the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE, arriving just two months after the launch of the original title.
The Justice-filled action RPG, DeathSpank, released fully on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network yesterday, and is now available to purchase and download for measly sums of digital currency… but you’re not completely convinced just yet, are you, otherwise you’d already have bought DeathSpank by now, right?
That’s OK! All investments take a little time and consideration, so while you mull over the entertainment proposition put forward by Ron Gilbert and Hothead Games’ DeathSpank, why don’t you watch two excellent videos from the downloadable title to see extended sections of gameplay, and get a better idea of what you’ll be doing:
Oh-man-oh-man-oh-man-oh-man! Guess what game just arrived on Xbox LIVE Arcade?! I’ll give you a hint:
The game’s name begins with ‘Death’ and ends with ‘Spank.’
Got it yet? No? You’re not the brightest bulb, are you?
Why, of course the game I’m referring to is Ron Gilbert and Hothead Game’s action RPG, DeathSpank!
Now available on both of its intended platforms (Xbox 360 and PS3… and PS3), will you take up the call to Dispense Justice with your mighty ‘Empty Bucket’ in DeathSpank?
Take up the call.

“A trailer for a game’s weapons? Really?”
Really.
Honestly, at this stage we would use any excuse we could to talk more about Hothead’s action RPG, DeathSpank, and if we have to post up a weapons and loot trailer, so be it. Although this particular weapons and loot trailer is a little bit different, thanks to the inclusion of a… certain item. A certain ‘Unicorn-related’ item.
It’s very rare and very special.
To get ready for DeathSpank’s release on the PlayStation Network tomorrow, and then on Xbox LIVE Arcade on Wednesday, check out some of the magical (and not so magical) items you’ll be able to find in the game with the ‘Epic Weapons’ trailer below:
Two new videos for EA and Hothead Games’ upcoming action-RGP DeathSpank have surfaced, and both are a must-see if you’re counting down the days until you can begin the quest of the “Dispenser of Justice,” “Vanquisher of Evil” and “Hero to the Downtrodden.”
And it’s not long to go now because DeathSpank will be available for download on the PlayStation Network on the 13th of July for $14.99, with Xbox Live following on the 14th of July for 1200 MS Points.
EA and Hothead Games have announced that the upcoming humorous action-RPG DeathSpank will be available for download on the PlayStation Network on the 13th of July for $14.99, with Xbox Live following on the 14th of July for 1200 MS Points.
Hothead Games and Ron Gilbert’s upcoming DeathSpank looks to be an excellently humorous action RPG, set in a wonderfully fleshed out and colourful world.
With the release of DeathSpank on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network in the coming months, it would be advisable to watch a couple videos taken from the game to see a slice of combat gameplay, as well as an example of one of the many challenging (and peculiar) quests you’ll be faced with during this epic adventure:
“Dispenser of Justice,” “Vanquisher of Evil” and “Hero to the Downtrodden,” DeathSpank is many things to many people, but he’s on a quest to become worthy of the power of a relic known only as “The Artefact,” and on his journey he’ll encounter at least one drunken leprechaun, several unicorns, and many orphans.
Oh, and “Forbidden Bacon.”
To see this action RPG in action, as well as all of the above-mentioned obstacles (and more), you can head on down below to watch the latest released story trailer for Hothead Games’ DeathSpank, heading to PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade soon:
EA and Hothead Games are set to publish the latest game from Ron Gilbert, the popular creator of The Secret of Monkey Island. Gilbert joined Hothead Games as Creative Director in 2008 to begin work on the adventure RPG DeathSpank.
Now Gilbert has left Hothead Games because development on the new title has been wrapped up. In a post on his personal blog Gilbert wrote:
EA Partners (a division of EA) and Hothead Games are set to publish the latest game from Ron Gilbert, the popular creator of The Secret of Monkey Island.
DeathSpank will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network sometime this year. The game is being developed under the guidance of Gilbert and is said to blend a “story filled with Gilbert’s unique humor and wit with classic and addictive action RPG gameplay.”
DeathSpank is an upcoming adventure created by Ron Gilbert (of LucasArts adventure game fame) and developed by Hothead Games.
Death Spank is described as a cross between Monkey Island and Diablo, with the gameplay being “divided between uncovering the epic story via conversations, solving complex puzzles, equipping your character to maximize his dispensing of justice, not to mention his charming good looks, plus battling just about anything that moves. As DeathSpank vanquishes evil and heroes the downtrodden, he will collect loot, level up, collect loot, acquire new abilities and of course, collect loot.”
