BattleBlock Theater: The Final Five

Update 2/14: The last two of the final five was announced

And then there were five.

 

Since we released BattleBlock Theater in April 2013, we’ve had a plethora of prisoners revealed and added to your special star prisoner category.

 

We whetted your appetites for unlocks with Donuts and Sausage. We shared the prisoners near and dear to us, like Winston and Behemoth Chicken. There were fun animated prisoners, like the Lava Lamp and Boom. There were uniquely sized ones, like Tiny Monkey and 50% Off Prisoner. The holidays throughout the year were celebrated with their very own special prisoners: Santa, Turkey, Rose and even Manbirth! Inside jokes, winks and nods were given when we announced prisoners such as King, Buckle Your Pants, and Fat Kid. Within less than a year, we released over 50 special prisoners in BattleBlock Theater!

 

Now, we’re down to the final five. These prisoners will be released in a matter of weeks and you’ll only get a limited amount of time to get each one. So be sure to check this blog often!
 
The 1st of Five: Barbarian
 
The 2nd of Five: FBI Agent 2
 
The 3rd of Five: Groundhog

 
The 4th of Five: Ms. Pump
 
The 5th of Five: Thief

Furbottoms Friday: Arena + 2 New Unlocks!

by

Welcome to another exciting Friday in BattleBlock Theater. Today, we’ve got a new Arena Feature up for you to play with your frienemies. For another wonderfully written description of the new playlist in the same witty manner of all Aaron’s posts, click HERE to learn more and be delighted by his riddle.
 
As for the prisoner unlocks of this week, we’ve taken down Hooshmand. However, don’t mourn too long otherwise you’d miss your opportunity to get two new friends in your entourage of prisoners!
 
Meet Meebs. I’m not too sure what this creation is supposed to resemble, but I personally can only think to describe it as キモかわいい (kimo-kawaii). It’s sort of a slangish word, actually two words just mushed together to make one adjective, which means it’s cute in a creepy way. Or directly translated “gross-cute.” (Cecil is kinda kimo-kawaii too, don’t ya think?)

As an added bonus, you’ll also be getting Swamp Bro! Not to be mistaken for these guys:
 
S

No, our Swamp Bro is a little different. He’s also got a tall, dark and handsome look about him, but he’s pretty intimidating even without the lizards and alligators.

 

Just be sure to sign in to Xbox LIVE and load up the full version of BattleBlock Theater. You’ll need to head over to an online feature, such as Furbottoms Features, to trigger the unlock. Happy playing!
