Castle Crashers Sketches

Trolls want tolls

 

Throwback Thursday! Our second game title, Castle Crashers, first came out for Xbox 360 in 2008 and then it made its way to PlayStation 3, and finally Steam. Since 2008 Castle Crashers has been the largest, most successful game we’ve ever created. We are proud to announce that just recently Castle Crashers has been downloaded over 5 million times across all platforms!

 

In celebration of this 5 million milestone, we are going back to 2005 when we started working on Castle Crashers.

 

Back in 2005, Dan Paladin, our art director, started sketching up ideas for our 2D multiplayer adventure. Our previous BattleBlock Theater sketch blog post was well received, so we thought it’d be fun to show off some of the original creations for Castle Crashers.

 

We hope you enjoy the sketches below. Some of these ideas got slightly altered before the game finished development, and some of them didn’t make it to the final version! Can you point out which ones made it in?

Arena Feature and prisoner unlocks in BattleBlock Theater

by

This week we update the Arena Feature in BattleBlock Theater for XBLA and Steam–so you can enjoy the best of the best community made levels! Since it’s summer, you can stuff your belly with BBQ and relax with a friendly competitive game in the Arenas. Or for you fans in Australia & New Zealand experiencing the winter, you can snuggle up with your mates and have some fun in the Theater. We can guarantee it’ll be warmer in there since there are cats and raccoons looking to be close to you.
 
When you load up BattleBlock Theater in the online areas this week, you’ll also notice that you get TWO special unlocks this week!!
