While The Behemoth is best known for their Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers franchises, once upon a time, the studio made a really unique platformer called BattleBlock Theater. Well, the Steam version of BattleBlock Theater is getting a nice update soon. That's really cool, but even better, the game will be coming to modern consoles as well!
If you can believe it, BattleBlock Theater recently crested its five-year anniversary. The puzzle platformer/party game first graced us with its presence in 2013 as one of the last vestiges of the Xbox Live Arcade, with a PC port coming about a year later.
At long last the list has arrived. Yesterday, Major Nelson posted on his blog the full list of 104 Xbox 360 titles that will be accessible via the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature that launches this Thursday, November 12.
When the newest generation of consoles debuted at E3 two years ago, one of the biggest gripes players had about them was that previous titles were not supported. Sony eventually revealed PlayStation Now, a kind of rental/streaming service for older titles. Today, Microsoft went one step further and announced that the Xbox One will fully support 360 titles natively.

As the final update for the Xbox LIVE Arcade version went up last week, the BattleBlock Theater community braced themselves for a big announcement from The Behemoth, and rightfully so! Today, they finally revealed that their game will be coming to Steam in the near future.
BattleBlock Theater's developer, The Behemoth, created the level editor feature for, not only the gaming community, but for themselves to bring new content to their game directly. Soon the "Monster Playlists" will be hitting the scene and with a new character head to grab.

Those that have experienced BattleBlock Theater know that the large assortment of wearable Prisoner heads is a highly sought after commodity. Heck, more than half of the game’s currency is used to purchase those things! If standing out from your co-op buddies is your thing, then this month is a great time to boot up the title and grab some specialty goodies.
Mmm, donuts. This past Friday was National Donut Day in America. Yeah, we missed it too, so don't feel too bad. Since every day is donut day in real life, The Behemoth has decided that BattleBlock Theater is going to let you have a belated snack. And it's calorie-free, too! From now until June 13th, anyone who owns BattleBlock can sign in and watch as a special prisoner named Donut pops out of the vault. Easy!
