Thank you to everyone who read along with our live blog and kept up with our photo album during PAX West 2024! The show has come to a close, the chickens have flocked back to their coop in California, and their chicken hearts are filled with love and appreciation for every person who stopped by our booth.
If you missed it, check out our live recap blog of PAX West below, starting from the bottom of the page upwards!
One big chicken with a whole lotta co-op goodness is soon headed your way, Seattle! From August 30th through September 2nd, you can find The Behemoth crew in Booth #1501 of the Arch Expo Hall from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM daily! We’ll be near the Skybridge on the 4th floor.
We’ve prepared quite a few moments of merriment for this year’s PAX West, so let’s get right into it, shall we?
Traveling with us all the way from San Diego to Seattle is one special feline security pal, our beloved Cat Guard statue. Don’t take the straight face too seriously – this Cat Guard doesn’t bite and is ready to take fun photos with humans, AND you could win a $100 gift card for our merch store just by uploading your picture to social media! Wait, what?
Don’t have social media? We’ll also be hosting a newsletter raffle for a set of our much-anticipated, newly redesigned Castle Crashers knight plushies throughout the weekend! Find our special newsletter sign-up station at the show for more details.

Who’s ready to BAPI BAPI BREAK IT DOWN and dance together to some BUMPIN’ Behemoth tunes in the expo hall???!!

We love the vibrant energy Patric has added to our games and can’t wait to celebrate his efforts on the dance floor!
Dancing aliens not included, but I did hear Dan Paladin might be around, getting down to some sick extraterrestrial beats and signing autographs in the crowd.
After Patric’s set, the party continues with our Alien Hominid Invasion SOLO BONUS CHALLENGE! Here’s some intel straight from the Mothership on how to join:
