WebFront_BBTSteamLaunch

It’s almost here! The launch of BattleBlock Theater on Steam! If you haven’t read it already, here are the words of our leader in a public conversation with himself and viewers like you: BBT Steam Release Date Announcement.

 

If you’re just as excited as we are about the release of BattleBlock Theater on Steam, then we hope you’ll join us from 3:30PM-5:00PM PDT on our TwitchTV channel. This Twitch stream will be following our Reddit AMA (which starts at 10:30AM PDT).

 

We’ll be celebrating the launch live by playing through the game and giving all of you on the interwebs a chance to win some prizes! We’ll be doing a contest to give out BattleBlock Theater Duckshark hats and Raccoon hats, but you’re going to have to come on the stream to find out how to enter!

Get ready for May 15th! #BuckleYourPants #BattleBlockTheater

 

An early Happy Mother’s Day

What came first, the momma chicken or the egg?

Does it matter? Respect your mom and tell her Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday! As our newly formed tradition holds, we’re releasing Rose again in celebration of this warm and fuzzy holiday.

 

If you didn’t get it last Mother’s Day, you’ll need to play through Furbottom’s Features on BattleBlock Theater XBLA and complete the full playlist before you unlock this special prisoner. Check out the encore Co-op Feature on our Forums HERE. Good luck!

 

BattleBlock Theater Releases Steam on May 15th

I have several good things to tell you!

 

What’s May 15th got to do with anything? Oh, I remember now. BattleBlock Theater is releasing on Steam for Windows & Linux! Yes that’s what I wanted to say. And that’s all. Nothing else to say.

 

WAIT, NO. I forgot some other stuff. We’ve done some great things during the development of the Steam version that should make everything a little bit better and nothing a little bit worse (as far as I know!!!!!). Cats are fatter, weapons can be immediately switched, Steam Trading, Steam Trading Cards, alterations of the “better” variety exist for sure. The base price for such splendor shall be $14.99.

 

“$14.99?”, you say? “The Splendor overtakes my being! I am so happy I don’t even know what else I could be saying and I should be getting it right now instead of talking!” “Yes” I reply, “But you cannot get it now because it isn’t May 15th yet.“*

If you’re not familiar with this whole thing, you can check out a video of our announcement trailer here:

 

 

Definitely don’t have anything else to announce. Nothing of the surprise variety or anything like that. Oh wait, yes, there is something;

 

If you were a Steam Beta Tester for us I’d like to let you know that your copy of the game will be FREE. That’s right – Beta Testers shall get their copy for FREE! This is our way of saying thank you for helping us identify any threats.

 

“Should I remember to delete the Beta before diving in to avoid any weirdness?” You ask. “Why yes, how thoughtful of you!”* I reply.
