Castle Crashers Release Date…..No, seriously.

August 27th, 2008 is our release date. I’m sure you will read it everywhere else before you read it here, but hey that’s just the way these things happen sometimes. We are excited, and relieved to finally be able to say,  Castle Crashers releases on August 27th!

As we get closer to the release date, which is conveniently 2 days before we attend the Penny Arcade Expo we want to make sure your first day of playing Castle Crashers is going to be freakishly enjoyable. With that said we are excited to announce that one of the unlockable characters in Castle Crashers is our little yellow friend Alien Hominid. The best part about this is that if you have purchased the full version of Alien Hominid HD you will have automatically received this unlock on your Castle Crashers character select screen the day you purchase the game.  (August 27th, 2008) We wanted to make sure to include this for all of our fans out there who supported us with the purchase of Alien Hominid HD. If it wasn’t for your support we might not be here today.

More to come later as soon as we unpack from Comic-Con and get our office back in some working order. Microsoft is also having an awesome “Summer of Arcade” promotion where every time you download Castle Crashers you receive one entry for a chance to win 100,000 Microsoft Points, 12 month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, and an Xbox 360 Elite console.

One last thing for all of the people who have asked this question, “When is Castle Crashers coming out?”,

fantastic foam four foot figure

amazing!!!  clint burgin, who has sculpted all of our figurines thus far, is now working on 4 foot tall figures for comic-con this year!  he should be done the night before the show just in time for awesomeness.  clint has been working day and night thanks to the very short notice we gave him 🙂  thank you clint!!!!!!!!    we’ll have these characters at our booth so you can all take pictures next to them!

tom and i went up to see how clint was doing.  while we were there i took some pictures to share!!  here you can see them in their blue foam glory –unfinished in shape, but definitely giving a good glimpse of the progress.

we’ll also be bringing these to PAX.  see you guys there!
