This year’s E3 in Los Angeles was certainly exciting for many reasons. So many rad developers have projects that are coming to fruition on all platforms and we’re looking forward to seeing them. Our own projects, Castle Crashers Remastered and Game 4, were also included in E3 as part of Microsoft’s briefing on June 15th.
 

 

While we didn’t exhibit this year at E3, we did head over to the convention hall to do an interview with the Xbox team to show off Castle Crashers Remastered and our in-development game, code named “Game 4.” Check out our segment of the interview here:

We’re excited to start up our next round of expos we’ll be attending this year. We’re going to kick off the summer shows with San Diego Comic Con!
 
This year, we’ll be at Booth # 229 (it’s in the gaming section of the exhibit hall) and you’ll be able to catch all of our custom built arcade cabinets featuring our games: Game 4, BattleBlock Theater, Alien Hominid HD, and Castle Crashers. Our Castle Crashers arcade cabinet will actually be newly refurbished to run our upcoming Xbox One edition: Castle Crashers Remastered!
 
Come stop by to say hi and get the unique experience of playing our games on our rad arcade set up! See you July 9 thru July 12!

– 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.
