We’re coming back for you, Boston! Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East starts a few weeks earlier this year. From March 10-12, we’ll be at Booth #14005 with our custom built arcade cabinets and our Gift Shop with tons of official merch!

New Merch in our Online Store!

HOT OFF THE PRESSES! New Pit People Fighter Hoodie!
HOT OFF THE PRESSES! New Pit People Fighter Hoodie!

It’s that time of year where we get fancy new gear to give holiday cheer! We’ve just added several merch items to our Online Store!

The Pit People Fighter Hoodie that you see above has never been shown or sold before today. The design is based on one of our most popular Pit People t-shirt designs, but in a warm and cozy pullover hoodie edition. Now you can still show off your favorite Pit People creatures even on the coldest days of winter!

The photo has the hoodie modeled by our very own Ian Moreno. For those of you who have played the Pit People demo or beta, you may recognize his voice as Yosef — oh, and he’s also one of our game developers and makes music too! The rest of the items below are also modeled by Ian with the exception of the baby onesies (we tried but it just didn’t work). Click on any image below to go to the Store page.

We did another round of giveaways in the mornings with Pit People bags and lanyards. (Those bags go quick so make sure to get to our booth early if you’re here for Day 4!)

Saturday night, we held a mixer with friends of The Behemoth and The Research Centaur. John had a short speech to spotlight some of the recent successes of the devs that were present and encouraged everyone to mingle. (It was endearing!)

On Sunday, we had a visit from a Castle Crashers Green Knight. He was a sweetheart with lots of love for our Pit People cupcake.

We also had a few unexpected guests who played our Pit People co-op demo. Seems like they liked it!
