Meet Deathspank’s new sidekick: Steve, the ‘little person ninja’. Multiplayer co-op was confirmed in the primary-plus-assistant style of Fable II. Still, expect more Diablo-style dungeon hacking with the same steady flow of Gilbertian double entendres and pop culture references (the boss battle we played riffed on Iron Chef). Long-range weaponry will also play a greater role than before.

The game promises to focus more on boss battles than the original, and the level we played saw us battle through the lair of an evil TV chef called Worten. It thus falls to our hero to defeat the other five, remove their underwear and restore harmony to the universe. Unfortunately they were all corrupted by the power of the thongs, except for Deathspank who possesses ‘the thong of justice’.

Long ago, six mystical thongs were created and distributed to various responsible individuals. The premise is based loosely (very loosely) on Lord of the Rings. The finished product will not only see Deathspank visit the Wild West, but also the jungle, north pole, high seas, and anywhere else laughs might be had. Like… “What if Deathspank went to the Wild West?” To cope with this overflow of creative juices, a new team was set up to work on the sequel while the first was still in production. While the original lampooned medieval RPG clichés, the sequel moves the action to a wider range of locations.Īccording to the PR rep, the team working on the original game was buzzing with great ideas. Ron Gilbert’s brand of silly innuendo-filled humor is back as Deathspank gets ready for another adventure. The Deathspank sequel takes the nitwit knight on a world tour.
