EA Partners Joins Forces with Hothead Games for DeathSpank

EA Partners, a division of Electronic Arts, and independent developer Hothead Games have announced an exclusive publishing agreement which will bring DeathSpank to the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. DeathSpank is developed by the creator of The Secret of Monkey Island and features a humourous story and classic action RPG gameplay.

“The team at Hothead Games is a perfect fit for EA Partners. They are a great example of how the EA Partners program continues to emphasize the importance of building strong relationships with the world’s top indie developers,” Jamil Moledina, Outreach Director, Business Development at EA Partners said. “DeathSpank is an engrossingly fun and hysterically funny experience, and we are all excited to have the opportunity to help introduce DeathSpank to gamers across the world.”

Ian Wilkinson, CEO of Hothead Games added, “We are proud of our independence, but are very excited to be working with EA Partners on a title as big as DeathSpank. With EA Partners handling distribution and marketing, Hothead can continue to focus on what we do best, making great games.”

In the game, players are cast as DeathSpank, the hero to the downtrodden, a vanquisher of evil and a defender of justice. He is out to fulfill his destiny and seeks a magical item known only as ‘The Artifact’.

The game is a whacky one, with massive seamless environments, hundreds of weapons, and great and challenging adventure game puzzles. DeathSpank is due out this year.
