We launched the full release of Pit People last month and since then we’ve been working on several additions & improvements for our game.

Pit People Update 7: Pitlicious will include the following:

  • 2 New Multi-Part City Quests
  • New world map content
  • New unlocks
  • 13 new Achievements
  • Flash bear blood storms throughout the game
  • Viewable fighter career stats in regular mode (similar to Obituary in Permadeath Mode)
  • The atmosphere of elite battles will be intensified (it’s going to get spookier!)

 
While there’s no release date to be announced yet, we wanted to share this info with the community to keep you in the loop! There will be other improvements included in Update 7 as well, so be sure to read the full changelist when it comes out with the update.

On a related note, part of our team is currently at PAX East 2018, so they can answer some questions if you want to know more about Pit People, the upcoming update, or about any of our other games!

BattleBlock Theater 5th Anniversary Celebrations

by

Five years ago, we launched our 3rd game, BattleBlock Theater, on XBLA! We took the platformer genre and inserted our humor & art style into this game; This game where players run around an abandoned theater being forced to do stage plays by evil and technologically advanced felines.

 
Since then, we’ve also brought it to Windows, Linux, and Mac OS in the STEAM version!

With the 5th Anniversary coming up on April 3rd, we thought it’d be fun to have a couple giveaways and an event on the day of:

Instagram Giveaway


We’re giving away 5 Buckle Your Pants tees on Instagram! Follow us on Instagram & tag a friend in the comments of this post, be sure to tag someone who you think would like BattleBlock Theater. Each person you tag is an entry into our giveaway.

Enter by 12PM PDT on April 3, 2018 and we’ll choose 5 qualified entrants on April 4th. Winners will be notified over Instagram direct message.
