by

We’re headed back to Austin, Texas for our 5th time exhibiting at Rooster Teeth Expo (RTX)! You’ll be able to find us at RTX 2017 Booth 401 (next to our friends, Supergiant Games) from July 7 to July 9 and we’re going to have lots of new stuff this year.

Arcade

Our custom-built arcade cabinets are returning with us. Come play Pit People, BattleBlock Theater, and Back Off Barbarian! We’ll also have brand new 2-player Pit People arcade cabinets to play!! These arcade cabinets are built by our hands for your hands!!!

All the demos at RTX are free to play as always. <3

Store

We’ll have official merchandise at our Gift Shop, including blind-boxed capsules in our Chonku Chonku machine! For $5, you’ll be able to get a token to place into the machine and it will pop out a capsule with either a keychain or one of the Castle Crashers mini-figurines! (Pins will no longer be available at RTX this year)

There will also be 3 Pit People t-shirt designs (XS – 2XL) and Pit People plushies for sale. Tees are $20 each and Plushies are $25 each.

Everything is available while supplies last since we can only ship so much over from San Diego. Get there early to buy some official Behemoth merch!

Daily Pit People PVP Challenge

RTX attendees looking for some Pit People competition will be rewarded with our brand new competitive Pit People cabinets. Come by our booth and challenge a fellow attendee for a chance to win merch and cash!

PAX East 2017 – Day 1 Recap

 What a fantastic start to another PAX East! We started bright and early on Friday morning with our annual Press Breakfast that we host at our booth.

Our friend, Violet, and our co-founder, John, running the check-in table

 Press came by during the Press Hour to get coffee, pastries, and the latest info on our games! Then the expo hall opened to everyone at 10AM and everything was in full swing.


Our Gift Shop opened up with lots of merch, including a variety of new Pit People merch.


Our arcade cabinets were booted up and ready for free play. These are all custom built in our warehouse and have been traveling with us to all the cons!


The Chonku Chonku machines returned as well, carrying PAX Pinny Arcade pins and Castle Crashers mini-figurines! This year, the pins are $10 BOGO (that’s buy-one-get-one free)! Get them while they last because we only make a limited amount of each pin series.

Pit People Tournament of Attendees – Day 1

 Today was also the day we held our first tournament for our first-ever Pit People Tournament of Attendees! It’s a daily tournament with sign ups every morning of PAX East and the matches start at 2PM each day of PAX.

The intense battles of 16 tournament contestants spanned for hours, but only one participant remained victorious in the Pit!

Congrats to Oskar “Big O” Augustowski on getting first place! Woooooo!

 
Check out those sweet 1st & 2nd place engraved trophies! 2nd place went to Charles “In Charge” Harlow!

 Finally, if you missed the live stream earlier today, we’ve got the link to the Pit People segment on Xbox Daily Show.

A behind-the-scenes look at the Xbox Daily Show. You can see Ian playing Pit People on the side!

 Our co-founder, John Baez, spoke with Chris Charla and Andy Lunique of Xbox. There was talk of PAX, of Behemoth’s work philosophies, Pit People, and even waffle irons. See the Pit People segment here.
