EA has announced that DeathSpank will be released for Xbox Live Arcade on 13th July and PlayStation Network on 14th July.

The game will cost 1200 Microsoft Points or $14.99.

DeathSpank has been developed by Hothead Games which, up until recently, was lead by Ron Gilbert of Monkey Island fame. He gave no reason for his departure.
