Hothead Games' newest game featuring their kinda-but-not-really mascot DeathSpank, The Baconing, now has a release date, and even more pleasant, it's going to be on all major platforms. The off-kilter action adventure RPG is hitting the PSN, XBLA, and Steam on August 31, for a reasonable $14.99. Pre-order on Steam now, and you get 20% off.

With a delicious name like The Baconing, expectations are already high that this game will be just as good, if not better, than the DeathSpank series.

And now I really really want some cured pig products inside of me. You win this round, Hothead.
