Castle Crashers Release Date…..No, seriously.

by

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?”,

  4. Uaagggh! BCR in two weeks, then CC two more after that! Why, oh why must all these good games be close together?!

  5. ‘every time you download Castle Crashers you receive one entry for a chance to win 100,000’
    wait… are you trying to tell us that this game is going for 100,000 points? >_>
    lol,
    i cant wait that long

  7. i already posted here but would anyone know who choose that horrible date for CC’s release? i mean, why not release it sooner? would it really make a difference?
    the game is DONE!
    why can’t they release it earlier?
    D:

  8. Thanks for the release date FINALLY!!

    Can’t wait to see you guys at PAX, hopefully those foam figures will be there and I can take some pics of them ^_^.

    I’m so torn now, Too Human and Castle Crashers out in the same month!?

    I’m going to be busy…

  9. Looks like I’ve got my 360 ahead of time (though I still need to get Live sorted out)
    Shame I already got Alien Hominid on PS2 yoinks ago

  10. thanks everyone. sorry for not being as frequent with the updates these past few days, but with comic-con going on we were freaking slammed!

    but hey, it all payed off and we got a release date out of it, yaaa!!!

    now we have to get ready for launch, and PAX! We’re going to be there and go freaking crazy with our booth selling merchandise like crazy people!

  11. the wait is finally over, ive been watching this game since the news came out in xbox magazine in june 06′ O.O but the wait will hopefully pay off 😛

  14. Sad: 4 weeks
    Happy: official release date
    Ecstatic: Free unlock because I have AH
    Orgasm: entered into contest to get free stuff, including a LOT of MS points upon purchase of game
    Death: caused from second orgasm if I win.

    If that was too graphic and I over-shot the humor line… sorry >.<

  15. Angry that I go back to school two days before the release date. Glad to have it, but don\’t blame the Behemoth (if anyone has) because Microsoft thought other games would be better (riiiiight). But I really hope that I don\’t have to buy AH to get him in the game. I need reassurance! You guys are FORCING me to spend more money! It\’s a good game, but just soooo hard!

  17. High fives everyone.

    What did I tell you? Alien Hominid character, from the beginning O:

    anyways, this made my day, now I need to go get an xbox…

  21. sorry triple post but it seems that as you lv up you kill bosses quicker…. notfunfully quicker as in a seven second battle…. is there a way to fight a boss at lv 87 and not own it before it gets to the center? PS yay you didnt change the music to the viking boss battle 😀

  22. yeah the profiles we used on the machines at the show were never swapped out, so people were using very levelled-up characters. after you win the game you get the option of an “insane mode” which will up the difficulty level for those who feel like they need more of a challenge.

  23. Good news, looking forward to getting it. I got the PS2 version of alien homind so no unlockable for me, oh well it\’ll still be a great game.
