We’re Invading PAX East 2020!

Can you believe that PAX East is almost here? I sure can’t! In fact, I accidentally typed “2019” in the title while I was writing this. Anyway, we’ll be at the show from February 27th to March 1st at Booth #10031, and we want you to visit us!

We’ll be at PAX East with a full-scale INVASION happening at our booth. That’s right, Alien Hominid Invasion will be playable at the show for the first time ever, AND we’ll be releasing more details about the game while we’re there! That way, even if you can’t make it, you’ll still be able to be a part of it all. No one is safe from the Invasion.

But since you’re here, you must be excited! We’ll give you a little sneak peek at everything that’s coming to PAX East, just because you deserve it.

Games

We’ll make this easy, and start with the big one: Alien Hominid Invasion.

The recently announced Alien Hominid Invasion will be playable for the first time ever at PAX East! Drop by our booth any time during the weekend to get your hands on our upcoming game.

If you can’t make it to the show and are eager to learn more about the game, have no fear! When PAX East kicks off, we’ll be sharing more information about the game right here on our blog and across our social media channels.

We’re also bringing the rest of our fine selection of games via arcade cabinets. Try your hand at the original Alien Hominid game, or revisit an old familiar favorite like BattleBlock Theater, Castle Crashers, or Pit People. And if you consider yourself a pro at any of our games, you’re going to want to keep reading…

Challenges

Each day at 11 AM and 4 PM, we’ll be hosting competitions for PAX attendees! Go head to head against your friends, your family, and a bunch of random people you’ve never seen before in your life.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone, so check out what’s on the menu:

  • Day 1: Alien Hominid Speedrun
  • Day 2: BattleBlock Theater Challenge
  • Day 3: Super Soviet Missile Mastar High Score
  • Day 4: Backoff Barbarian Longest survival time

Each challenge will last approximately 1 hour. To enter, all you have to do is show up! 1st and 2nd place winners will earn themselves some sweet prizes, and all participants will get consolation prizes, too! (Until we run out.)

Merch

We’ve got pretty merch, and lots of it. New hats, new socks, new shirts, and of course a PAX East exclusive t-shirt! Some of these are new to the show, and some are new to the WORLD, which means you have a chance to be a real trendsetter.

Keep an eye out for another blog post with more details (and tons of pictures!) coming next week.

Aside from the whole snow thing, we can’t wait for the show! We’re excited to show you what we’ve been working on. And if you can’t make it, remember that we’ll be sharing all the best bits on our social media channels, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram!

The Behemoth Goes Global! ✈️ (Or to Europe, at Least)

If you know us, you know that we’ve been hitting it hard in the tradeshow department this year — we’ve been zigging and zagging all over the United States to here and there and back again, and there’s more coming! We’re not slowing down… If you’ve been watching all the fun from afar somewhere on the other side of the globe, now’s your chance to be a part of it all!

Between October and early November we have THREE European shows that we’ll be attending in London, London again, and Berlin (and in that specific order, too).

The Behemoth will be making appearances at:

  • EGX London from October 17th to October 20th
  • MCM Comic-Con London from October 25th to October 27th
  • EGX Berlin from November 1st to November 5th

You can catch us at each of those shows with playable games including Pit People and Castle Crashers Remastered, as well as a handful of extra special giveaways for our superfans! Our booths won’t be giant, but our hearts will be.

It’s been a while since we’ve traveled so far from home, and we’re excited to finally have a chance to hang out with all of our friends and fans on the other side of the globe! Our first stop at EGX London is taking place just next week, so we’ll be seeing you very, very soon, Europe. 💙
