Gong hay fat choi! Xin nian kuai le! Chuc mung nam moi! Saehae bok mani badeuseyo! (All the ways to say happy new year in the various languages that celebrate the lunar calendar)
 
FeaturePost_WinstonWhen you load up the full version of BattleBlock Theater, you’ll get Rammy as a special unlock (if you didn’t already have this adorable companion). You’ll also have a chance to play the new Solo feature in Furbottom’s Features and get rewarded with Winston at the competition of the playlist.
 
We’ve re-released Winston in honor of Love Your Pet Day! You’ll do anything for Winston, right? All we’re asking for is one playthrough of Furbottom’s Features to unlock him and he’s yours forever.

Game 4 (our code name for our next title) is making its way to PAX East for the first time ever, so you’ll get a chance to play our demo at Booth 5020! One of the battiest units you could encounter in the game is our Vampire.

As you saw in our last Game 4 development post, we have customizable options for several unit types in the game. Vampire is another creature you can refashion into your favorite accessories!

Just like any other accessory in Game 4, these Vampire specific items could pop up for purchase in the Market (if you already have a Vampire in your team), they could be potentially acquired through loot & rewards, or you could always Recruit a Vampire in battle if they have the desired gear on their being. Mix and match torso and head gear as you wish!

Come back next week to learn more about our Game 4 demo at PAX East 2015 and how you could recruit other species (like Vampires, Mushrooms, Wraiths, Trolls, Cupcakes, etc..) on to your own team of heroes!

TL;DR
-Game 4 demo coming to PAX East 2015
-Vampires can fly further away toward enemy units
-Vampires get a bonus off bleeding enemy units
-Vampires have customizable gear!
