Sad Panda is sad indeed, as word comes from the PA greats themselves that their episodic game is no longer in development. Things first began to seem iffy when the first and second installments of the originally four part series were made available in short order, but a third episode was nowhere in sight. On top of all that, the developer of the series, HotHead, was beginning to have quite the full plate.

With HotHead’s upcoming game, DeathSpank, recently gaining the support of industry juggernaut EA, the Penny Arcade duo felt the studio had an opportunity to do something amazing but needed to be able to focus on it. That’s not to say Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik thought HotHead couldn’t handle both, but rather that they wanted to help provide them with the opportunity to focus on DeathSpank and as a side benefit not risk “half-assing” any of the PA Adventures installments.

But don’t dwell on it too long Sad Panda, there is no intention of letting the story of the final two games go to waste. Jerry Holkins also confirmed that they were looking to publish the remainder of the  storyline in what he referred to as a “book” format.
