A trailer for The Baconing features DeathSpank with a first indication of what to expect from this recently announced project from Hothead Games. The clip leads to The Baconing Website, which confirms this indeed is a DeathSpank game, an "ultimate sci-fi adventure" set in "the hilarious and sizzling world of The Baconing." Here's more:

Unaware of the myth of The Baconing, the hero DeathSpank, on a boring day in Spanktopia, decided to try on all of the undergarments at once. Much to his surprise, the result had nothing to do with chafing or wedgies, but rather the summoning of an evil incarnation of himself, the AntiSpank.

Balance can only be restored to the world by entering the Fires of Bacon and destroying five of the thongs. Now, DeathSpank travels the lands to find a sizzling solution to vanquish the AntiSpank and bring about peace once again to Spanktopia.
