As the creator of the acclaimed Monkey Island series, Ron Gilbert has a lot of hardcore fans. Those fans have been eagerly anticipating Diablo-like downloadable action RPG DeathSpank, due for release later this year from Hothead Games and EA, but the legendary game creator won’t be at the company for its release.
“I wanted to let all the Premium Gold Level Grumpy Gamer subscribers know that I left Hothead,” said Gilbert in his blog. “When I started working there two years ago, my goal was to make DeathSpank the most awesome game ever made and have it win a Nobel Prize and the early word out of Stockholm is that DeathSpank is neck-in-neck with some string theory dweeb (eleven dimensions my ass).
“As DeathSpank ends the creative and production phases and start down that long and winding road of certification and testing of the XBox and PS3 and [REDACTED] versions, it’s looking quite amazing and is damn funny. So, to quote my childhood hero George W. Bush: Mission Accomplished.”
According to Gilbert, he’ll be “working closely with EA and Hothead on the PR for DeathSpank as the release date of [REDACTED] draws closer.”
