Ron Gilbert, a designer on games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, and Maniac Mansion, has announced a publisher for his new game.
Canadian publisher Hothead Games will be publishing DeathSpank: Episode One: Orphans of Justice, lead contender for “silliest game name ever” and “most colons in a title” awards. His blog, Grumpy Gamer (linked above) tells the story of DeathSpank’s creation and rejection by nearly every publisher in the whole world before being accepted by Hothead Games.
Precious little is known about the game except that it is described as an adventure/RPG hybrid. There’s a website that simply says the game is “coming soonish.”
If you haven’t played the Monkey Island series yet, I strongly suggest you snag a copy of ScummVM and try to track the games down on EBay or something–they are more than worth it.
