Back in the Xbox 360 days, Castle Crashers captured the hearts of gamers with its addictive beat 'em up RPG gameplay and brilliant artwork and humor. The game would later be ported to modern consoles as Castle Crashers Remastered. While a sequel has yet to materialize, it turns out that The Behemoth actually has something in store for Castle Crashers fans: new DLC. The catch is that new DLC is only coming to Steam, but we can hope for a console release someday.
That's right, Castle Crashers for Steam, released way back in 2012, is getting fresh DLC! The "Painter Boss Paradise" DLC will feature:
- Steam workshop capabilities – create your own knight skins, choose your preferred magic, and share with the world!
- New official character – play as Paint Junior, use your imagination, and create powerful art to vanquish your foes!
- New player and weapon artwork for all official playable characters (with an option to toggle on or off).
This new content and revised visuals should breathe fresh life into Castle Crashers. Say, why hasn't Castle Crashers 2 ever happened?
The Castle Crashers DLC news came along side several more announcements from the Behemoth: BattleBlock Theater is getting a Steam update, and Alien Hominid Invasion is heading to PlayStation. Oh, and Pit People will be getting a Steam update as well. No release date was announced for any of the new ports, updates, or DLC.
Castle Crashers sells for $14.99 on Steam. Castle Crashers Remastered costs $14.99 on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch.
