Battleblock Theater – Opening Cinematic

One thing that was overwhelming for us at PAX East this year was the enormous response we had for our BattleBlock Theater demo. There was a line to play the game about 20 people deep the entire show!
Like most shows we attend we had great opportunities to talk to those of you who made it out and it really was great to see such a positive response from the latest build. With that said, we wanted to show you our brand new opening cinematic from the game.

We’re very happy with how this intro cinematic has turned out and your positive energy fuels our development train right off a cliff into a endless pit of joy and tears. If you did manage to miss the show, don’t worry we’ll be back in July for Comic-Con with another playable build of the game and as many arcade cabinets as we can fit inside our booth.

Below are some of the many articles that came from the show about Battleblock Theater as well as our booth at PAX:

What did you think of the intro? As always we love to hear your feedback and response.
