Wishlist the Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise DLC on Steam NOW!

The official Steam page for the Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise DLC is now live! You can now add the DLC to your Steam Wishlist! It’s happening!!!

Oh, and did we mention it’s happening this summer? That’s right, the Painter Boss Paradise DLC now has an official launch window of Summer 2025! The DLC’s price has been set to $3.99, but more information about regional pricing will be available soon.

The best way to support us as we continue developing the Painter Boss Paradise DLC (and Alien Hominid PlayStation ports and BattleBlock Theater’s update and Pit People’s Update 8 and [REDACTED]) is to wishlist the DLC and tell a friend! Heck, tell three friends and gather a full squad of knights just like the old times

Or a squad of four…of these things:

What started as Ye Olde Sidescroller in 2008 has brought us to this moment, right here, in 2025, updating Castle Crashers with custom character capabilities just so you can become the Moyai of your dreams and fight an army of Green Knights having an allergic reaction from space. The possibilities are endless, really.

In case you’ve missed the full rundown of what delights the Painter Boss Paradise DLC has in store, let us serve you a quick refresher course (can someone PLEASE make a custom chef knight?).

Painter Boss Paradise DLC features:

  • Steam Workshop tool – create your own knight skins, upload to the Workshop, and share with the world!
  • New official character – play as Paint Junior and create powerful art to vanquish your foes!
  • Updated art for all official playable characters, weapons, and world map (with an option to toggle on or off in case you prefer the classic style!).
  • An entire roster of wacky DLC characters created by The Behemoth’s art team for fans to directly download from the Workshop upon release.

If you find yourself Painter Boss Paradise-less but have a friend who owns the DLC, you’re in luck! That person is now your BEST friend because they can share the DLC with you while you both play together!

Thank you so much for all of the support on the Painter Boss Paradise DLC and the rest of our Behemoth Roadmap projects! We can’t wait to finally unveil the Steam Workshop and create a world of infinite possibilities in Castle Crashers together! As always, let us know what you think on social media, and we’ll see you on YouTube and Twitch tomorrow, February 14th, at 12:00 PM PST for a quick CCPBPDLC stream!
