Alien Hominid HD News

Chick-or-treat!

We reached deep into our candy bowl for Halloween this year and found an egg – an egg that is hatching into Game 6 in only SEVEN days!

Presenting BEHEMOTH - an adorably infinite, “dodge n’ flap” arcade game, releasing Thursday, October 31st, right here on Steam. Become THE chicken! That is, if you don't want to be an alien anymore...

Today we shared that Alien Hominid HD and Alien Hominid Invasion are being prepared for release on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4!

The Sewer Kid crew worked real hard on this one.

[h3]But wait, what does this mean for someone who already bought the game on Steam and doesn’t own a PlayStation?[/h3]

Well, the announcement was part of today’s Behemoth Roadmap presentation, where we shared even more news about what we’ve been working on, including a BattleBlock Theater (Steam) quality of life update AND a Castle Crashers (Steam) DLC! Hooray for chicken updates here on Steam!

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! While working on these updates and preparing our Alien Hominid game babies for PlayStation gamers, we’re also prototyping for our next game! BAAAAAAAWK!

So yeah, today was a pretty exciting day for the big chicken. Thanks to all who have been a part of our journey as a little (big) chicken studio these past 21 years. We appreciate the support tremendously and can’t wait for you to get your chicken wings on what’s to come!
