PAX East Activities at The Behemoth Booth

>>Update<< Due to unforeseen circumstances, BattleBlock Theater will not be available to play at the Console Free Play room as originally announced. But it will still be on our arcade cabinets at our booth (#512) so you can join us there! 🙂


It’s starting! PAX East week starts today as we start our week long of Behemothy PAX East news right NOW.

Along with all the cool merchandise we’ll be bringing this weekend, we’ll also be showcasing Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater on our custom made arcade cabinets again at Booth 512! You’ll be able to enjoy the classic levels of Castle Crashers on the show floor and we’ll have all new levels for the BattleBlock Theater which were never before seen at PAX East!

And now, without further ado, a BattleBlock Theater activity that will be happening at PAX East 2013…

New Goodies for PAX East 2013

As one Behemoth team prepares for the most epic BattleBlock Theater Beta in the world, another team is working hard on all the plans for the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo in Boston.

For the past few months, the trade show team has been creating prototypes for a couple Behemoth plush designs, a set of game character keychains and even a doggy toy! The prototypes were then sent to the manufacturer we use and what returned to our office is what we think is a very fun set of new goodies for 2013.

A few of things we’ve added:

  • 1st EVER The Behemoth Chicken Plush
  • NEW BattleBlock Theater vinyl keychains
  • NEW Castle Crashers vinyl keychains
  • NEW Alien Hominid vinyl keychain
  • NEW Cat Guard Piggy Bank
  • NEW Cat Guard Dog Toy
  • AND MORE!

 

We’ll also be bringing some of the Necromancer stuff from the Kickstarter project we did last year. Of course, the arcade cabinets will be back in Boston again for some free play of Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater.

As the event gets closer, we’ll post more photos of what’s to come as well as reveal the PAX East 2013 Exclusive T-shirt design! So mark your calendars for March 22nd to March 24th, because The Behemoth will be invading the  Boston Convention & Exhibition Center at Booth 512 this year!
