First Look at Game 4!

by

What’s this?? Game 4 is upon us!!
 
Shortly before the release of BattleBlock Theater we started working on something new. We schemed up a bunch of concepts and picked our strongest one. From there we fleshed out the lone survivor prototype!!! As it grew stronger and stronger, we polished it, furnished it with delights, and added (gluten free?) sprinkles. Yes, as the chicken dictates, this game is of a genre we haven’t covered before and seek to breathe a new flavor into. Maybe you can find a hint in the video below about which genre it is??
 
What we’ve ended up with is something we are all very proud of. I am confident you’ll get a kick out of this one. So we’ve decided to bring it to PAX Prime — and you can play it! As usual we’ll want your feedback to steer the process. I cannot wait to show you guys what we’ve got!

 

Until that time, please enjoy the introduction video to this grand and mysterious adventure………. Stay tuned for more info at PAX Prime Booth 3003!!!

Furbottoms Features – Now updated!

by

Howdy folks! We sure hope you had a good time following our Comic Con news this past weekend. It was a crazy hectic weekend, but we are now back in the office ready to bring more fun community levels to you in BattleBlock Theater.
 
As many of you know, we generally update the Furbottom’s Features section of BBT on Fridays. We had to push the Furbottoms Features cooperative playlist to this Monday, but we will be resuming the Friday schedule this week and updating the Arena Feature again this Friday.
 
So here are the two community co-op playlists that we’ve featured in BattleBlock Theater:
 
In XBLA:
Random Levels by The Hobb1t
 
In Steam:
Fun co-op v.2 by reridse

Click the links above for a photo preview and a write up by our level designers.

 

For those who finish either the Furbottom’s Features co-op or solo, you’ll be able to unlock Blocketeer once you’ve completed all the levels!

 

Yep, you’ll be able to jet around the levels with this fella. I reckon you don’t want to miss this opportunity.

 

As an added bonus for playing BattleBlock Theater online, players will also be unlocking Moose for a limited time.
