We’re going to Austin in August!

In a few weeks, a few of us are flying to the great city of Austin for Rooster Teeth Expo 2015!
 

You’ll be able to find us August 7th to August 9th at Booth 401 with our custom built arcade cabinets featuring BattleBlock Theater, Castle Crashers Remastered, and–for the first time EVER at RTX–Pit People! Pit People is our fourth game title and currently still in development. We didn’t have a demo at RTX last year, so this will be RTX attendees’ first chance to take a look at what we’ve been working on the past year!

We’re also bringing some mini Castle Crashers knight figurines in our Chonku Chonku capsule machines! The machines pop out capsules at random for each turn, and each turn for a capsule will only be $5. The number of capsules is limited, so come early in the day! If you are looking to collect specific knights or poses then we recommend the fun activity called “trading.”
 
If you aren’t attending RTX 2015, we’ll be streaming occasionally on either Twitch or Periscope. You’ll also see our live updates on our Twitter!
 
Texas, get ready for us…

Announcing Castle Crashers Remastered

Edit: Read more about CC Remastered in this post by Dan Paladin.
 

This morning, Microsoft made several exciting announcements at the Xbox One briefing at E3–including news on our very own Game 4 & Castle Crashers Remastered!
 
Castle Crashers Remastered will feature the following:
 
– 5x increase in texture sizes!
– Uncapped framerate — 60fps
– Various performance updates and improvements to gameplay and online multiplayer
– New mini game: Back Off Barbarian

Back Off Barbarian
Jump. Dart. Move and groove to the music. Whatever you do, just stay away from the enemies!
 
Back Off Barbarian is a simple but addicting mini-game where players move quickly using the D-Pad to avoid the enemies. As time passes, more enemies are added into the level and the players will find it harder to get around in the environment. Up to 4 players can be supported online or offline. Back Off Barbarian will only be available on the Remastered edition of Castle Crashers.
 
Castle Crashers Remastered for Xbox One is currently in development and is expected to release later this summer! More info to come.
 
Note: Steam users will also get a chance to experience the remastered version in the future. The development of the Steam update will begin later this year.
