Update 2/19/2015: Added new info on pins

EXCITE! There’s so much we’re bringing to PAX East for the first time ever, including our Game 4 demo and some expo only merchandise. We hope your eyeballs get excited when you see these never before seen official merchandise! Here’s what we’re bringing to booth 5020:

1. Hatty Hattington Statue
Our Hatty Bust was first released at RTX 2014, but this will be the first time that PAX East attendees will get a chance to get this statue.

It’s the perfect gift to get signed at our free autograph sessions from 2-4PM* on Friday & Saturday of the expo. (*Subject to change)

2. Castle Crashers Plushies

These Castle Crashers plush knights are actually available in our online store if you’re unable to go to PAX East, but for attendees of the expo you’ll be able to pick up the set and avoid shipping costs! It will be the first time we bring these little guys to an expo.

3. Hatty Tissue Box Cover

Our newest addition to our line of BattleBlock Theater merchandise is this fitted Hatty Hattington tissue box cover, perfect for a square tissue box. Hatty can’t wipe away his tears, but he’ll help you with yours! (Snot, too. If you’re into using it for that sort of thing.)

Two Game 4 characters have made it on to our PAX East exclusive tee for 2015! Meet Sofia and Gluten! We will have a limited number of these t-shirts & limited sizes, so get to our booth early for this exclusive t-shirt.

5. Pinny Arcade Pins
We’re bringing a new set and they’ll be available in our Chonku Chonku machines again! This means that you’ll be able to buy our official Pinny Arcade pins at our booth and they’re all blind-boxed in the machines just like in previous years.

This year, we’re bringing 5 new designs to PAX East (Series 4 pins)! Two designs (left) are from BattleBlock Theater and three (to the right) are from our upcoming game, code named “Game 4.” For $10, you will get to spin for one of these designs at random. We’re also bringing back Series 1, 2, & 3 pins from previous shows! Series 1-3 will be consolidated into one Chonku Chonku machine, so you could get one of 14 designs at random. These are the last of the last of the last ones you can get! While supplies last.

If you want to trade, you can ask other pin collectors really nicely and you’re welcome to do trading at our booth!

Happy collecting!

We’re coming up on our 6th year at PAX East! That’s right, we’ve been going since year one of the expo.
 
Our booth is in the same location by the escalators, but the booth numbers have changed this year. Look for us on the map – Booth #5020!
 
We can’t wait to bring our Game 4 demo to the East Coast for the 1st time! If you missed our recent reveal of Cupcakes, you can find our development blog post HERE. Just like in past years, our games will be shown on our custom built arcade cabinets. You won’t want to miss the chance to play this expo-only experience.
 
More details to come about the demo and our new merchandise we’ll be bringing to PAX East. Come back soon, ya hear?

Here’s John bowing to the Kyoto mascot, Mayumaro

 

From Japan to Boston to everywhere in between, we traveled quite a bit this past year and had several game highlights along the way–including BattleBlock Theater launch on Steam and unveiling our next game at Pax Prime!
 
BattleBlock Theater (STEAM VERSION) came out for PC and Linux in May this year. Since then, we’ve been rolling out special unlocks at least once a week and we’re close to releasing the final prisoners! We will be giving out the final prisoner on Steam sometime early 2015 and then we start doing re-releases like we’ve been doing on XBLA.

This was our first live stream of Game 4 (PAX East @ Twitch Stage)

 

Our 4th game title (Affectionately named Game 4) had its first playable demo at PAX Prime, and we did several live streams to show off the gameplay as well. Check out the temporary site here: http://www.thebehemoth.com/game4
 
Let us know what you’d like to see more of from Game 4 and we’ll do our best to share more in 2015!
 
It’s difficult to cover all of what we did in the past year in a single blog post, so we decided to do a sentimental year in review video of our biggest moments:
 

 

There are several videos linked within this recap that you can check out if you’re curious about any of the events we listed. A couple awesome Behemoth-related events not shown in the video include the fun fan driven contests we had for Valentine’s Day and Halloween, our partnership with GestureWorks Gameplay, our latest Gold Egg Project recipient (Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime), our partnership with HP Sprout, and the inclusion of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers in the Game Masters exhibition in the National Museum of Scotland (which is still up until April 20, 2015 so go check it out here).
 
Thank you to everyone for their support this year and we hope you enjoy a look back at all the events.
