Hothead Games today announced that The Baconing will be launched via PlayStation Network on August 31st, 2011. The game is a new stand-alone experience about the mythology of the Bacon Fires. Unaware of the myth of The Baconing, the hero DeathSpank, on a 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. The Baconing is being developed for PC and Mac as well - a new trailer is now locally mirrored.
