Deathspank, the latest creation from the mind of Monkey Island's Ron Gilbert, will be released next week as a downloadable game on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live by Electronic Arts. You may now browse the game's official website at DeathSpank.com.

Electronic Arts and developer Hothead Games sollicited a note from Deathspank himself to tell the world about the new website. Due to it's hilarity, I decided to post it verbatim.

Hothead also released new footage of the game's co-op gameplay.

Gilbert's humor meshed with a hybrid of adventure and Diablo-esque gameplay sounds like a perfect match. Anyone else excited to see how this turns out?
