Castle Crashers News

The DLC is coming this summer–are you ready?!

If you’re going to be at PAX East this upcoming May 8 - May 11, you can be one of the first to experience the DLC on one of our shiny new 2-player Painter Boss Paradise arcade cabinets! We’ll be hosting a 1v1v1v1 Arena Tournament on Saturday, May 10, right after the Tom Fulp Meetup finishes! Yes, the Tom Fulp!

We understand not everybody can make it to PAX, which is why this year we wanted to bring the show to you as much as we can! Our PAX Live Blog has kicked off ahead of the tradeshow madness, and a Behemoth Birdie told me there might be an online giveaway for a set of Castle Crashers Knight Plushies, just like the one we’re doing at the show!



Check back on our live blog during the show (May 8 - May 11) for details on how to enter, not to mention an actual live feed of updates being piped directly from the show floor to you looking at these words on your screen!

Big Chicken Out!

Castle Crashers Herbert’s Paradise is coming soon to Steam! Every playable character in the game will be Herbert, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
