BattleBlock Theater Releases Steam on May 15th

battleblock.theater

I have several good things to tell you!

 

What’s May 15th got to do with anything? Oh, I remember now. BattleBlock Theater is releasing on Steam for Windows & Linux! Yes that’s what I wanted to say. And that’s all. Nothing else to say.

 

WAIT, NO. I forgot some other stuff. We’ve done some great things during the development of the Steam version that should make everything a little bit better and nothing a little bit worse (as far as I know!!!!!). Cats are fatter, weapons can be immediately switched, Steam Trading, Steam Trading Cards, alterations of the “better” variety exist for sure. The base price for such splendor shall be $14.99.

 

“$14.99?”, you say? “The Splendor overtakes my being! I am so happy I don’t even know what else I could be saying and I should be getting it right now instead of talking!” “Yes” I reply, “But you cannot get it now because it isn’t May 15th yet.“*

If you’re not familiar with this whole thing, you can check out a video of our announcement trailer here:

 

 

Definitely don’t have anything else to announce. Nothing of the surprise variety or anything like that. Oh wait, yes, there is something;

 

If you were a Steam Beta Tester for us I’d like to let you know that your copy of the game will be FREE. That’s right – Beta Testers shall get their copy for FREE! This is our way of saying thank you for helping us identify any threats.

 

“Should I remember to delete the Beta before diving in to avoid any weirdness?” You ask. “Why yes, how thoughtful of you!”* I reply.

Here at the Behemoth, we are celebrating by bringing back our own monstrous dinosaur, “The Monster.” How do you acquire this friend from the Jurassic era? Why, by playing this week’s Furbottom’s Features in BattleBlock Theater! This week, we’re not only bringing back The Monster, we’re bringing back one of our “Greatest Hits” courtesy of community member, LikingB4g3L5.

 

We were checking out our back-catalog of Features, and we realized a wonderful thing: the “great stuff” in the Community Theater out-numbers our stuff in the Story & Arena by 2 and a half to 1. Yep, we’ve featured somewhere in the neighborhood of 900 user-made levels, and just in case some of you missed a few gems here and there, we’d like to share some of these Greatest Hits with you.
