As some of the more astute web surfers and GDC going elite have noted, it was unofficially announced at GDC that DeathSpank is no longer episodic.

Yes, it's true.

"So", you're probably saying, "Does this mean when I buy DeathSpank I'll just get all the episodes at once"?

"No", I would reply.  Then I would backtrack a little and hedge my bets and say "Maybe" or "Kind of, but not really".

DeathSpank isn't a very patient guy.  He would never be able to play though one episode after another.  He'd just run in and play them all at once.  He's that kind of guy.  He also gets impatient if someone doesn't die fast enough.

So what we did was take all the story, puzzles and fight'n and weave them into one larger game.   The overarching story is the same, but the world is larger, more open, more compelling and completely load-less.  You can walk from one end of the vast world to the other and never see a load screen or camera cut.

We do these things because we care.
