Castle Crashers Release Date…..No, seriously.

by

August 27th, 2008 is our release date. I’m sure you will read it everywhere else before you read it here, but hey that’s just the way these things happen sometimes. We are excited, and relieved to finally be able to say,  Castle Crashers releases on August 27th!

As we get closer to the release date, which is conveniently 2 days before we attend the Penny Arcade Expo we want to make sure your first day of playing Castle Crashers is going to be freakishly enjoyable. With that said we are excited to announce that one of the unlockable characters in Castle Crashers is our little yellow friend Alien Hominid. The best part about this is that if you have purchased the full version of Alien Hominid HD you will have automatically received this unlock on your Castle Crashers character select screen the day you purchase the game.  (August 27th, 2008) We wanted to make sure to include this for all of our fans out there who supported us with the purchase of Alien Hominid HD. If it wasn’t for your support we might not be here today.

More to come later as soon as we unpack from Comic-Con and get our office back in some working order. Microsoft is also having an awesome “Summer of Arcade” promotion where every time you download Castle Crashers you receive one entry for a chance to win 100,000 Microsoft Points, 12 month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, and an Xbox 360 Elite console.

One last thing for all of the people who have asked this question, “When is Castle Crashers coming out?”,

2007 Recap

Well the year is almost over, and we wanted to take a minute and thank all of our fans for all their support this year. We’ve had a hectic schedule these past 12 months and had a great time going to trade shows and meeting our fans. Here is a very brief recap of events from this past year.

January, 2007
San Francisco was our first stop for the year, attending the Annual IGF Awards show. We were nominated for 2 awards for our upcoming title Castle Crashers, and thanks to all of our fans received the Excellence in Visual Arts award, and the coveted Audience Award.

February, 2007
Alien Hominid HD launches on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Woo hoo! Our first title on the Xbox 360, and definitely not our last.

May, 2007
We announced our Alien Hominid Leaderboard Competition. Sending out trophies to the leaderboard winners on a weekly basis, we were the first developer to ever offer a physical prize for Xbox LIVE Leaderboard winners.

July, August, 2007
Comic-Con and PAX are the largest shows that we attend on a yearly basis. We had amazing turn outs at both events and look forward to another year of convention center fun.

December, 2007
We launch our official Behemoth Store! Within 2 days we completely sell out of our Castle Crashers figurines. In addition to the figurines, we launch a completely new t-shirt line, as well as finally offering our other trade show exclusive merchandise to the masses.

It was another busy year for the Behemoth, and everyone here is looking forward to 2008. We hope everyone has a safe holiday season, and get ready for Castle Crashers!

Penny Arcade Expo

We are heading out to Seattle in a few hours for the Penny Arcade Expo No pictures yet of the ridiculous amount of things we are taking with us, but as soon as we get back there will be the standard photo tour we have all come to love. In addition, the latest demo of Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid will be there for those of you who will be attending. Going thru the demos last night, I must say it looks pretty darn amazing! So if you’re in the area be sure to try to make it out and come say hi to us at our booth. We will be the guys with the fat chicken!
