You Don’t Know Jack — the cult classic trivia game dating back to 1995 — may be making a comeback.

Mike Bilder of series creator Jellyvision made a guest appearance on the Giant Bomb Podcast during E3 last week, where the deal was teased. This was later followed up by a cryptic post on Jellyvision’s website, which promises more news about the partnership will be coming soon.

Jellyvision’s intent to return to the traditional games business was first revealed in an August, 2008 press release, where Bilder said that the company would be “truly reincarnating You Don’t Know Jack” before moving on to “fully exploring” the interactive game show genre with new franchises.

We’ll have updates as soon as more information is available.

DeathSpank, the downloadable action-RPG by Hothead Games, officially has a release date.

Developed by The Secret of Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert, DeathSpank stars the eponymous hero and his sidekick, Sparkles the Wizard, as they “collect loot” and “solve crazy puzzles.” Both characters will be able to team up in local co-op play.

It will be released for $14.99 on the PlayStation Network and 1200 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Arcade. Look for it on July 13 and July 14 respectively.
