BattleBlock Theater

a date, a confession, and toys

A Date

On November 25th, while Americans are passed out in tryptophan comas,  Castle Crashers will arrive on  the PlayStation Network in JAPAN, thus completing our world domination of PS3s!  Its been a long road, but Castle Crashers is now available on both XBLA and PSN WORLDWIDE.  On this day, over 2.2 Million players have experienced the adventure of kissing princesses and beating eachother up!!!   *weeps with joy*

A Confession

I have a confession to make.  Long story short, BattleBlock Theater is becoming so much more than we ever expected.  It feels like no other game out there – there’s a little more r&d than we thought and lots of new ground to break.  This means we will not be releasing in 2010, but the good news is now that we’ve got Castle Crashers out on PSN worldwide, you can expect LOTS more updates on where we are headed with BBT.

A ton of work has gone into this game which feels like no other game!  We’re currently forcing someone to start getting some videos/pictures prepped so we can pass the time quickly together.

TOYS!

New Stuff available on our webstore!  Animal Orb Cell phone charms, New Tee shirt designs, Keychains, a sweet new Skeleton Skate Deck, and of course, the new limited Edition King Figurine!

BattleBlock Theater- Hail to the King, baby!

by

KotH sGreetings,

I hope some of you got a chance to check out BattleBlock Theater at ComicCon last week! What did you think?

We’ve been having fun coming up with all sorts of new ways to throw kick discombobulate toss punch interact with your friends and this mode started to take shape.  It’s like a king of the hill game- claim the special golden blocks as your own and do anything you can to keep the other guys off. I mean, look. These are your blocks and you are the king of them. You can’t let just anybody come and stand on your blocks. Give those interlopers the royal treatment. And by royal treatment I mean uppercut them into some spikes or push them into some nice lava. That is the sign of a true king.

If you missed us at ComicCon, you’ll have another chance to check out all the new features in BattleBlock at Penny Arcade Expo in a few weeks!  Hit the jump for some kingly screenshots.
