The Baconing to Sizzle on Consoles, PC and Mac

We knew the game was heading for at least the PC and Mac, but now it turns out Hothead will also fire up the console griddles and fry up some Baconing there also.

The Baconing is the latest stand alone action-RPG title from Hothead Games featuring the popular hero, DeathSpank. Discover exciting new worlds and hilarious characters whilst you battle hordes of enemies in search of the Fires of Bacon. This sizzling title will be unleashed for ALL gamers to play at the end of this month. The details are as follows:

PlayStation Network - August 30th/31st
The Baconing is a PlayStation Network PLAY promotion title, a new program showcasing four of the season’s hottest action titles. When The Baconing is pre-ordered through PLAY, purchasers will receive an additional co-op character, Roesha, One Bad Mutha and a PlayStation®Network theme.

Roesha is a 70’s era inspired police woman with a nasty attitude and an over-sized pistol that gets results! When her gun is simply not enough she calls on her electric disco ball to take down a big crowd. She can also fire First Aid shells at DeathSpank to heal her crime-fighting partner. And when she taunts, get ready for a Charlie’s Angel inspired pose and some Roesha attitude.

In addition, PlayStationPlus subscribers will receive an automatic 20% off every PLAY program purchase.

Xbox LIVE Arcade – August 31st
The Baconing will be released on August 31st on Xbox LIVE, for 1200 Microsoft Points. The game will be published by Valcon Games in conjunction with Hothead Games. Valcon Games President, Glenn Halseth commented:
