Deathspank goes from thongs to bacon in the third and final instalment of Hothead Games’ hilarious hack and slash series, DeathSpank. The developer revealed to Kotaku that this new sizzling sequel will be titled The Baconing and sees the titular hero on a quest for the Fires of Bacon whilst facing off against his most deadly foe to date, the Anti-Spank, all to rid the world once and for all of the evil power of the thongs.

Ron Gilbert may no longer be with the studio, but that isn’t stopping Hothead from packing in as much meat as possible into The Baconing, promising more than a 100 new quests, 70 (mostly new) characters, 80 new weapons, new areas, a new, tougher difficulty level and….wait for it….Bob from Marketing (an all new sidekick). To make that last part even more silly, Bob will be able to shoot laser beams from his eyes, eat dead bodies to restore health and eat live bodies as an additional attack option. It won’t all be random silliness though as Hothead also made some improvements to the combat system, which will now allow players to utilize cover point and enhanced attack strategies to defeat much smarter, more strategy orientated enemies.

DeathSpank: The Baconing will be released "this summer" (our winter) on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. In the meantime, check out the first teaser trailer below:
