Pit People’s Update 4 in Development

Edited 6-8-2017 to include info from recent post.

Hey everyone! We don’t have a date set for Pit People’s UPDATE 4: VIBRANT VILLAINS at this time, but we wanted to let you know why it might be taking a bit longer than our previous updates.

We’ll be having a couple main Story quests within Update 4! Encounter some new and old faces as Horatio tries to get his bearings in this next installment.

While Story will be our main focus in the next update, we also have other additional content throughout. You’ll find some brand new quests at the Quest Board that might yield very specific gear, for example. Or how about a whole new World Map with 15 quests scattered throughout? Sure, that’s in there, too! We’re also happy to announce that we’ve got two new series of side quests in the City, each with multiple parts to the quests! There are other improvements as well:

The House will have custom gear buttons for the creatures, the Marquette will display how many items you already have for any items being sold, the ability to choose to allow/disallow Auto-battlers from your PVP session, and more!

With everything combined, Pit People players can expect at least another 5 hours of gameplay in Update 4 — but try not to expect too much of us or we’ll get really nervous!

Your patience has been much appreciated as we tighten those last screws for the send-out. We’ll be back with a date once we’re sure Update 4 is ready for action!

XOXO,
Dan

BattleBlock Theater – 6 million across XBLA & Steam leaderboards

Our third game, BattleBlock Theater, was released a little under four years ago — first on Xbox 360 and then on Steam a year later. In 2015, it was added to the list of Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles as well. We like to consider it a delight and can only hope you agree!

This launch trailer was originally posted April 3, 2013! Time flies!

Earlier this week, we hit a couple big milestones on our BattleBlock Theater leaderboards: 4 million players on our XBLA leaderboards and 2 million players on our Steam leaderboards! Over 6,000,000 prisoners performers have made their debut on the Theater stage in just a few years!!!!

It’s hard to even imagine all those people at once, isn’t it? But we try anyway and we think it looks pretty epic. We are all so grateful to have had the game played so many times by so many people. Hatty Hattington seems to be making new friends every day while Purrham Furbottom’s Theater remains just as bustling as its former glory.

Thank you to everyone who played BattleBlock Theater! Thank you to everyone who built levels for everyone in the community to enjoy, and thank you to everyone who ever streamed, reviewed, criticized, listened to, looked at or talked about BattleBlock Theater.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we will be putting all BattleBlock Theater merch items in our online store on sale next week! BBT items will be 15% OFF from March 27th thru April 2nd, 11:59PM PST.

Thanks again for everyone’s support all these years! We shall use this positive energy as we swing into the last big completion wind of our next game, Pit People (Available now on Xbox One and Steam via Early Access!).
