Despite rampant talk of downsizing, EA’s Partners initiative is still alive and kicking. EA plans to welcome indie efforts Shank and Deathspank into the fold later this year, according to a 1UP report.

Developed by Hothead Games, Deathspank is a Monkey Island-inspired action RPG romp that features eye-popping, almost cartoon-like visuals. Pictured below, Shank is a brutal yet stylish 2D beat-em-up reminiscent of Castle Crashers and is in development at Klei Entertainment. Both titles are due out on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, while Shank will hit PC as well.
