People have been wondering where the third episode (out of four) of the series had gotten too, but now it seems that the whole thing has been canned. It is reported that episode 2 only made about a 1/3 of episode 1’s sales.
”(The game’s developer) Hothead has DeathSpank and they have a chance to do something really cool with it,” Jerry Holkins, the other co-founder, said. ”And they need to have an opportunity to make it incredible.”
“They definitely could’ve done both games,” when asked if the could have made both games. ”I think they could’ve made DeathSpank and Episode 3 but I think Episode 3 would’ve suffered. I mean, I know it would have suffered. So we’d rather not do it than do it half-assed and so we’re going to finish that story but it’s going to be on our website.”
It’s a shame, but those are the realities of videogame publishing.
