Merry Bawk-mas from The Behemoth!

by

We’ve had quite the ending to our 2023 here at The Behemoth!

We returned to tradeshows, we launched two separate games across three different platforms, we held true to a years old April Fool’s Day post of making Castle Crashers Remastered Nintendo Switch Physical a REAL THING (restock coming early next year!), we gave our boy Blacksmith the plushie he deserved…we’ve been busy chickens.

As mentioned in our previous blog post, we recently pushed an update to Alien Hominid Invasion which added a bunch of new achievements, a new map algorithm, some balancing, along with a hotfix for Alien Hominid HD! Part Two of this update will land in early 2024.

And from now until January 4th at 10AM PST, enjoy some savings on our games and spread the holiday cheer in the Steam Winter Sale! And as an extra holiday thank you from our team, catch our new releases Alien Hominid Invasion and Alien Hominid HD during their first discount ever!

Thank you for reading this with your human eyes in a voice you can’t quite place, and for being the reason We Make Games for the past twenty years. We couldn’t have made it this far without you, and we certainly wouldn’t want to!

See you for the next trip around the sun,

The Behemoth

Alien Hominid HD Coming Soon to Modern Platforms!

by

You’ve been asking for AGES…

And we knew that access to Alien Hominid HD was not ideal. With only one avenue to currently purchase the game (outside of overpriced resellers tsk tsk), many fans were left in the dark when wanting to revisit the classic run ‘n’ gun sidescroller. You can blame the agents for that.

What you didn’t have was the secret Intel. The Redacted, Confidential, Behemoth Secret Intel. Yes, this secret was a big one – the secret of us preparing Alien Hominid HD for modern platforms all this time. And at the beginning of us developing this secret, we created another secret – the game that is now Alien Hominid Invasion – in addition to the original secret that we vowed to keep secret.

So there you have it, the lore of all Alien Hominid secrets in one grand reveal… or are even more secrets waiting to be uncovered?

Alien Hominid HD, meet modern platforms. Modern platforms, meet Alien Hominid HD! Wow, wasn’t that the introduction of a lifetime? To be a bit more specific here, Alien Hominid HD is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch this year, along with Alien Hominid Invasion. Hooray!

Watch the announcement trailer here.

Adding to the excitement, the newly-ported and polished Alien Hominid HD will be available to purchase in a bundle with Invasion, saving you some hard-earned lunch money in the process. When can you get your hands on the individual games, or the bundle, you may ask? Well, we haven’t announced a release date yet, so prepare yourself for another announcement coming soon…™️

Get yourself a treat from the Steakery Cakery to celebrate the news, let out a BAPI BAPI BAAA (or two?), wishlist Alien Hominid HD on Steam, and wait just a bit longer for not one, but TWO alien games coming to a thing near you! And thanks for the patience and trust while we’ve worked on porting this game and simultaneously developing a brand new game – we appreciate it with all of our grimey little alien hearts.

Gobble Gobble! Autumn Sales Are Here!

by

It’s almost time; the potatoes have been mashed, the pies crusted, the cranberries cranberried… and the Churkey is in the oven! Only thing left to do is to don your fanciest of clothes before you sit down for a holiday meal surrounded by family…

What better way to do that than in a shirt with a pooping deer on it? And before you accept any grief for your choice of attire, remind everybody that it’s a talking piece.

Absolutely everything in our merch store will be 30% off over the Holiday of the Turkey, November 25th to 28th. Load up on socks for the cold winter upon us, tuck yourself into a warm duck shark plush hat, or cuddle up under one of our throw blankets. If you have the sniffles from the weather, why not dress up your tissue box with Hatty Hattington? Boring, generic tissue box no more!

We have tons of trinkets and stocking stuffers to prep for that onslaught of gift wrapping madness near the end of the year. Or treat yourself, just because, since you earned it.

Go forth and peruse; if you still need a link to our store, click here!

Plus, to make the deal extra savory, we’re throwing you a (wish)bone and treating you to a FREE scarf with any purchase over $40! Use the discount code SCARFYYY in your cart to qualify and get that sweet, swaddling goodness.

As if that wasn’t already the spice to your pumpkin, the Autumn Steam Sale is HERE!
