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!

Castle Crashing the Holidays

holidaychickenAs we near yet another end the end of another year here at The Behemoth, we look back. We look back on the endless stream of frantic and fun tradeshows (five of them!) and the beginning of exciting new projects like our 3rd Game and Castle Crashers for PS3.

16 months now since our baby Castle Crashers first blinked at the wide world, and it is still the top rated game on all of XBLA, as rated by Xbox 360 gamers.  That means a lot to us because it isn’t just a publication, it is voting from the gamers themselves. That means that you guys like what we made and we liked you even before you liked us ANYWAY, so we couldn’t like you even more since we already liked you at maximum capacity.

By our ACTUAL count, Castle Crashers has saved 27 marriages (while destroying 1, sorry about that), created 346 father/daughter bonding experiences, been tattooed on 39 bodies, and resulted in exactly 520,687,903 hours of entertainment  for people all over the planet.  That’s pretty amazing. If you were to ask me what’s amazing I would have included that in my response.

I can tell you that you can give Castle Crashers to someone as a gift. And here are two ways to do it:

1) If you happen to live in the USA you can click here, to gift the game via Amazon (or to add it to your Amazon wishlist!)

2) Or, if you prefer to have a physical something to wrap up in a box with a pretty bow, you can go to The Behemoth’s online store and get a special card with the game code (we ship anywhere). As an added bonus, this comes with a free limited-edition collectible pewter medallion. There were only 1000 made, and only a few hundred left! You can gift the Game and the Medallion, or keep the medallion for yourself!

And of course, for your special someone who is already a fan of Castle Crashers, don’t forget to check our all the cool Castle Crashers Shwag!

Here’s wishing you a joyous holiday, and thanks again for all your support this year! …and don’t worry, we have a few more surprises in store for you before the year is out.  😉
