This July, EA and Hothead Games released the hilarious RPG DeathSpank on the PSN and Xbox Live. The developers have now announced a follow-up to the game dubbed DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue. The new humorous action adventure will cover a gigantic war-torn land, the North Pole and even the high seas.
“Bigger, longer, harder–these were the words that drove us while we created the follow up to our introduction to the DeathSpank universe,” remarked Vlad Ceraldi, Director of Game Development for Hothead Games. “In T.O.V., we’re taking action RPG fundamentals and adding loads of new creatures, environments, weapons and characters, while continuing to push the envelope with our signature humor.”
DeathSpank who dons the role of the ‘Dispenser of Justice’, ‘Vanquisher of Evil’ and ‘Hero to the Downtrodden’ will need to restore peace and harmony in the universe by locating the six magical thongs. Gamers will not only have to discover these thongs but also destroy them. The title can be played in local co-op mode where the players can get a friend on board as one of the two sidekicks. Besides, they can unleash mystical skills, step into the boots of Sparkles the Wizard or watch Steve’s funny Kung Fu moves.
DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue will reach the PlayStation Network on September 21, 2010 with a price tag of 14.99 USD (approx. Rs. 702) while Xbox 360 gamers can procure the game from the Xbox Live Arcade on September 22, 2010 for 1200 MS Points.
