August 27th, 2008 is our release date. I’m sure you will read it everywhere else before you read it here, but hey that’s just the way these things happen sometimes. We are excited, and relieved to finally be able to say, Castle Crashers releases on August 27th!
As we get closer to the release date, which is conveniently 2 days before we attend the Penny Arcade Expo we want to make sure your first day of playing Castle Crashers is going to be freakishly enjoyable. With that said we are excited to announce that one of the unlockable characters in Castle Crashers is our little yellow friend Alien Hominid. The best part about this is that if you have purchased the full version of Alien Hominid HD you will have automatically received this unlock on your Castle Crashers character select screen the day you purchase the game. (August 27th, 2008) We wanted to make sure to include this for all of our fans out there who supported us with the purchase of Alien Hominid HD. If it wasn’t for your support we might not be here today.
More to come later as soon as we unpack from Comic-Con and get our office back in some working order. Microsoft is also having an awesome “Summer of Arcade” promotion where every time you download Castle Crashers you receive one entry for a chance to win 100,000 Microsoft Points, 12 month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, and an Xbox 360 Elite console.
One last thing for all of the people who have asked this question, “When is Castle Crashers coming out?”,

w00t! How about some cheat codes! We need cheat codes.
so whats the price?
!!! I’m so happy I picked up the XBLA version despite already owning the PS2 version. The inclusion of the secret character day-one totally makes up for the unfortunate delays!! Thanks!
Quick Question……..
I purchased Alien Hominid on 1 of my older account (and is played on my new account via DRM tool) will i still receive the bonus character?
S
Just wondering how the game is actually unlocked whether its picked up via achievements or DLC history.
I mean how the extra character is unlocked ^^
Holy crap! That’s my birthday!
Talk about an awesome birthday present! 😀
I read it here first!
This is the best news all day! Now, I’m going to count down the days!!
GREAT A WHOLE OTHER MONTH TO WAIT!
WOO!!
BRING ON THE LACK OF UPDATES! LACK OF PRICE ANNOUNCEMENT! AND 4 MORE WEEKS OF OVER HEAD SHOOTERS AND CRAPPY OTHER XBLA GAMES!
JUST IN TIME FOR EVERYONE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!
Wait…
This sucks! Constant. Disappointment.
uhhh! o well its a release date at least well know when its coming…. hooray! ^.^
OH SHIIII
is there any other way to unlock alien hominid?
How many millions of Microsoft Points will we need to get our hands on this? 😮
Thanks for the date… now to release the within the next month too.
Congrats! Light at the end of the tunnel, but 4 weeks is gonna be a looong freaking time to wait. You should do a countdown timer on the site! Do you have any plans for the next moth as in updates or new stuff to ease the wait?
PS: Tell us about the mounts in the game. How do they work?
gosh will there be a flash version?
Well I bought I point card specifically for this game so I guess I\’ll have to buy Alien Hominid with the other points. I just cannot bear to have blank spaces in my character rosters.
Wait…when is Castle Crashers coming out?
Sweet, Finally a release date. Hey BEHEMOTH…remmember that contest you were having for alien hominid, new metal trophys ect…. what happened? You guys stopped doing the weekly update after the second week, I was holding my ground on missile masters for the month.
well… now i can’t play it until i go to college… i WAS hoping on getting some castle crashers in before i went back to school… so this officially ruins the rest of my summer… *sigh*… back to halo 3 for me :\
Ignore Dan. He’s a part pooper. Anyways, I already boughtAH, so wee!
Crap!
A release date that means many get no CC before school, in fact I dont get CC till about 1-2 weeks of school which officially sucks. As all fun is drained while at school
and i turn into a boring shell. I agree with chris…. my whole summer out the window.
On the brighter side atleast now i know when it is coming out.
…I have to convince my brother to get it on the release date…but he didn’t like it…what is a boy to do…oh well I’ll get to play et somehow!
<3
I read this on shacknews before the blog was updated… dear god you guys are getting LAZY! 🙂
Good things await us, I will now start a countdown.
Good to hear about the free unlock, it’s a nice little feature added on, like that free theme we get with purchasing CC. I’m sure there’s a way to unlock him otherwise, so don’t panic people. Though you could play Alien Hominid HD for the next month while waiting for the launch. =)
