The Behemoth (Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid HD) have been teasing us with morsels of information about their new project, the mysterious and temporarily named Game #3 since they unveiled it in March 2009.
Since then we have had to content ourselves with ogling at a single screenshot, a debut trailer as well as gameplay footage and a development video. Yesterday the developer promised that a new trailer for the third game was very imminent, and true to their word they have delivered that… and more.
Despite being released well over a year ago now (August 2008), Castle Crashers remains one of the most popular games on Xbox Live Arcade.
Back in June Castle Crashers reached one million players in less than ten months after the game’s release, making it the fastest growing XBLA game in history. And the developers, The Behemoth, even have the figures to prove that Castle Crashers was the top rated and best selling Xbox Live Arcade title as at September. In addition to these accolades Castle Crashers also found the time to win an XBLA Game of the Year award, receive two rounds of DLC and celebrate its first birthday.
Developers The Behemoth have released a new development video to prove they are still hard at work on the PSN version of Castle Crashers.
Here’s how the Painter Boss came to life: “The picture [below] shows the progression of the Painter Boss from it’s original conceptual form drawn by Tom Fulp to it’s final menacing overall wearing evil painter dude version. Sometimes Tom will have an idea for a boss that will require him to draw a placeholder image for Dan to base his version off of (or as we like to call it programmer art). A lot of the times the original looks nothing like the end result and this is one of those examples.”
The Behemoth has just announced that two new picture packs for their popular Xbox Live Arcade title, Castle Crashers, are now available on Xbox Live Marketplace.
The Boss Pack and Animal Orb Pack will cost you 80 Microsoft Points each. The Boss Pack includes 5 gamer pictures of The Painter Boss, Medussa, Frost King, The Evil Wizard and the Corn Boss while the Animal Pack includes 5 gamer pictures of, you guessed it, animals from Castle Crashers.

The Behemoth has announced that Castle Crashers is the top rated and best selling Xbox Live Arcade title as of the 1st of September.
The developer thanked fans of the game for their support and promised to award them with free stuff as a “gesture of [their] appreciation” over the next few days.
See the below screenshot of Microsoft’s “nifty little filtering system” for proof.
Can you believe it’s already been a year since Castle Crashers was launched on Xbox Live Arcade? It’s been a busy year too, one in which the 2D side-scrolling arcade brawler won Xbox Live Arcade Game of the Year Award, became the fastest growing XBLA game in history with one million players joining the action in less than ten months, received two rounds of downloadable content (the King Pack and the recently released Necromantic Pack), a patch and is even heading to the PS3 now!
Happy Birthday Castle Crashers! Here’s an updated trailer of the game to celebrate but keep an eye on The Behemoth’s development blog – there’s sure to be a surprise or two!
The Behemoth has announced that the second round of downloadable content for its popular Xbox Live Arcade title Castle Crashers will be available tomorrow, the 26th of August.
Titled the Necromantic Pack, it will include two new characters (the Necromancer – who’s magic is described as “pure awesome” – and The Cult Minion) as well as a new Animal Orb (Dragonhead), two new weapons (the NG Skull Mace and the Chainsaw) and picture pack goodness. It will cost 160 Microsoft Points.
The Behemoth (Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid HD) have released a development video for their new project, currently titled Game3.
From the development blog, “In an effort to document some of our development for our upcoming third game we are going to attempt a series of videos that showcase various features of the game. In this first video Dan Paladin and Emil Ayoubkhan go over one of the modes being referred to as ‘soul mode’ (not a final title). Please keep in mind that none of this is final, we just want to bring you along for the ride!”
The Behemoth (Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers) first unveiled their new project in March. Details of the new project, currently titled Game #3, are still limited, so far we have only a debut teaser trailer and one screenshot to gaze at.
The developer has also revealed that Game #3 will include a single player, campaign mode as well as both online and offline multiplayer co-op and team versus modes. Players will be able to customize their character and unlock characters, weapons and levels. Last but not least we know that the game will be released in 2010 and that it is fun. We don’t know any information about platforms or pricing yet.
The Behemoth has announced that its insanely popular Xbox Live Arcade title Castle Crashers is coming to the PS3.

The Behemoth (Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers) have released a few more details about their upcoming game, currently known only as Game #3.
According to a FAQ posted on the developer’s forums, you will be able to play this game single player and there is a story/campaign mode. The game will also include co-op and team versus modes online or offline multiplayer.
The awesome 2D side-scrolling arcade brawler, Castle Crashers, has won the Xbox LIVE Arcade Game of the Year award, as voted on by 185 000 members of Xbox LIVE.

The Behemoth (Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers) have just released the first (super early) trailer for their next game, currently without a title and known only as Game #3.
The style of the game is very reminiscent of Castle Crashers, but the gameplay so far appears much more platform based. Anyway, like they said, it’s super early footage and the Behemoth are at pains to pre-empt some early questions, with the following responses from their blog post:
- Release Date: See Trailer
- Console : No specifics yet
- Price: No idea
- Game Details: Coming Soon
Anyway, watch the trailer for Game #3 below and see for yourself:
Behemoth Games, developers of the extremely popular XBLA title Castle Crashers, have announced that they will be revealing the first trailer for their next game on the 18th of March.
The game is currently being referred to as Game #3 but stay tuned for more details when the trailer arrives on the developer’s Dev blog next week.
Until then you will have to content yourself with the first piece of art from the game. Sigh.
