“I am in your Castle, but I won’t paint you into a corner this time. Now, we create!” – Painter Boss in 2025 (probably)

From enemies to fellow artists, today we join the Painter Boss in unleashing a FRESH new version of Castle Crashers for you to enjoy! The Painter Boss Paradise DLC includes updated art for all playable characters and weapons, a brand new official character (complete with a new magic moveset!), new map and main menu art, CUSTOM CHARACTER CAPABILITIES, and even more!!! Shall we consider this to be the Painter’s magnum opus? Only time will tell…

Don’t know where to start? Too afraid of your own creations? Have no fear! We’ve preloaded an entire crew of DLC characters created by our art team for you to try RIGHT NOW! Take a look at some of these whimsical creatures:

Yes, those are birds on Bread Knight’s head, slowly picking away.

We mustn’t forget about Paint Junior, the first playable character added to our official roster since Pink Knight and Blacksmith arrived back in 2011! We’ve teased his magic a bit in our DLC launch trailer (embedded below for your viewing pleasure!), so we won’t spoil too much else about it here.


Looking for more Painter Boss Paradise content? You can find our complete playlist here!

Take Paint Junior out for a spin and try out the new magic for yourself in game, or create your very own custom character using this new magic moveset! Speaking of creation…

Do you have your template yet?

With the DLC template, you can design a custom character’s head, body, weapon, shield, beefy form, portrait, and Back Off Barbarian piece! To download the template and get started, check out our DLC “Three Easy Steps” guide here!

PSSSST: If you upload your original character during launch week, there’s a chance we’ll feature it on our next livestream!

Our team thanks you, the community who makes it all happen for this little chicken indie studio, for the outpouring of love, excitement, and anticipation you’ve shared for the Painter Boss Paradise DLC. Your support means the world, and we are beyond excited to share this fresh version of Castle Crashers after almost 17 years of crashing castles together!

Now, it’s time! Together with Paint Junior, create your custom knight and enter a fresh new world of Castle Crashers! Find community creations to download and toggle on or off at your whim! Replace every enemy possible with Herbert and go to town! Go on now, and let your brush guide your every move!

Alien Hominid is BACK on PlayStation®!

by

Greetings earthlings, fellow aliens, and any intergalactic creatures in between! Today is the day. Alien Hominid is BACK on PlayStation! Ready your green blaster, mutation juice, and grenades – it’s time to burn the Agency to the ground, PlayStation style!

After wrapping up development on Alien Hominid Invasion last year and mulling over what updates we could bring to our entire games library, The Behemoth Roadmap was born. Our team received many requests to bring Invasion and HD over to PlayStation after their recent release in 2023, so we made sure to include this as a priority stop in our big chicken road trip!

Our small (but mighty!) team appreciates your patience greatly as we continue development on our remaining roadmap updates, and we’re so excited to finally co-launch Alien Hominid Invasion and Alien Hominid HD to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5! Now bring out the dancing aliens!

Alien Hominid HD 

Ready to experience Alien Hominid HD in shiny 4k glory on your TV? With your mighty blaster and a group of mysterious kids by your side, destroy the Agency and reclaim your spaceship! Fight your way to Area 51 and beyond to rack up those trophies, or take a break from the chaos with any of the original mini games (including 500+ PDA Game levels!).

If you played the original game released on PlayStation waaaay back in 2004, you may notice a few improvements in Alien Hominid HD, including enhanced visuals, various quality-of-life updates, pesky bug fixes, and TURBO FIRE! That one-hit health bar is still there, though, so be sure you’re ready for the classic hardcore gameplay, otherwise you can tweak the difficulty to your liking and make the chaotic killing experience juuuuuust riiiiiight.

Alien Hominid Invasion

Got your spaceship back? We’re only getting started! Continue the chaotic adventure and join the Invasion with up to four players in this fast-paced, objective-based shoot ‘em up! Beam down to hand-drawn neighborhoods to steal enemy intel and sabotage the Agency’s plans. Carve out your own gameplay path to the enemy HQ and take down each mission’s boss; reap the rewards through unlockable mutations, weapons, abilities, and more!

On PlayStation 5, Alien Hominid Invasion will support 120hz for the first time on any console, and your DualSense controller will light up with the color of your alien’s pigment! It’s time to grab your co-op crew, get down to Patric Catani’s intergalactic beats, and make your way to the enemy HQ!


Whether you’re ready to mutate like an alien and jump into the Invasion or just itching to revisit the classic levels of Alien Hominid HD, we hope you have a delightful (and chaotic!) time playing our beloved game babies. Before you go, here’s some last words of inspiration from the Mothership: KILL-IT-FOR-MAMA.
