2025 Halloween Art Contest

*Bawk bawk*, chick-or-treat! The clock has struck ‘Behemoth Art Contest O’Clock’ and we have the scoop (of chicken scratch and contest details) for you!

This year in celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, we’re going to keep in the spirit of dressing up Behemoth characters. But this time, we would like you to choose which character from one of our six games to adorably adorn! Pick a Behemoth character, then pick a creation from the Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise Steam Workshop that you would like that character to dress up as! The possibilities are (almost) endless!

For example, you could dress up Hatty as a Bottle of Ranch! Red Knight could be dressed up as a GREEN KNIGHT PLUSHIE! 🤯

This is the ultimate remix Halloween contest. And we can’t wait to see what you all cook up!

BCN Game Fest is underway!

El Pollo Grande has landed in Spain for Barcelona Game Fest!

We flapped our wings for an awful long time to get here from San Diego, but it was worth it! We’re here at La Farga de l’Hospitalet at booth 68 to celebrate all things gaming, now through October 12th. Visit us and play our latest DLC for Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise or test your endurance on BEHEMOTH, a game by The Behemoth. Or just come say hi, do the funky chicken dance from a distance…no matter how you prefer your chicken cooked, we’ll have something for everyone!

Barcelona Game Fest: October 10-12

First, we’re heading back to Barcelona! Following the legacy of Indie Dev Day, Barcelona Game Fest is the largest video game convention in Spain with a focus on connecting industry, innovation, and community in gaming. We’re stoked to be back and contribute to such a great event focused on uplifting indie developers!

From October 10-12, come visit us in the La Farga de l’Hospitalet at booth EXH 68 to play the new Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise DLC and BEHEMOTH! To find the chicken on the expo floor, keep an eye out for the brightly painted backdrop and familiar games! This chicken can’t wait to flap over yonder, meet your smiling faces, and try out some new indie games!

TwitchCon: October 17-19

Visit your favorite big chicken dev team in the Indie Game Zone’s Booth #4725 to play Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise and BEHEMOTH! Orrrr, take a break from the gaming and doodle Behemoth characters with Dan THE MAN Paladin at our drawing station!
