Join Souls and Go Forth: It’s a Pit People 2v2 Tournament

Find a partner and get ready to join souls cyclops-style, because a Pit People 2v2 tournament is happening soon!



Find someone who’s willing to go to the ends of the Earth with you (or just the ends of the Pit, back and forth while you chase your enemies) because from Saturday, August 8th to Sunday, August 16th, you’ll be going all out in a PC Pit People 2v2 tournament!

And of course, glory comes with prizes, too! Each member of the winning pair will earn themselves a shiny new set of Pit People figurines.

Itching to join the fight? Or maybe just itching in general? Join the POOP (Pit Official Offensive People) Discord server and let tournament organizers Normandia or KreeperKiller63 know that you and your teammate want in on the challenge. If you haven’t found someone to join souls with yet (we know, it’s a big commitment) the Discord server is the perfect place to make new friends!

We can’t wait to see who brings the sickest strats and gets that “W.” (Is that what the kids are saying these days?)

We’re Making a Summer Splash with Super Sales!

How many S’s can you fit into one sentence? Summer Splash with Some Super Sunny Sales and Smiles?! The answer is a lot, apparently.



The Steam Summer Sale has crashed down like a wave, and all of our games are on sale on Steam! From June 25th to July 9th, you can grab Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater for 80% off, and Pit People for special 52% off. (The 52% discount makes the price a nice number that we liked, okay? Plus, it’s 2% more than 50%, so that’s cool for you too!)

But wait, there’s more!

Be sure to check out the Cozy Couch Co-Op Bundle! The bundle features BattleBlock Theater alongside a slew of fun co-op adventures from other developers — it’s perfect for anyone who’s looking for new games to play with friends, and will also be discounted during the Summer Sale! Watch this super cool trailer or click the link for more details.

If you already have some of the games in the bundle, no worries — Steam subtracts the cost of what you already own so you don’t have to spend extra cash.

But wait, there’s MORE more…



Pump up your summer style with a Behemoth merch sale! From June 25th to July 9th, you can save big in our online merch store.

This sale will end at 12:00 AM PT on July 9th, so snag a deal while you can!

We that we bring you a little bit of extra fun to help you kick off your summer vacation. Hang ten!! Or hang eight, because Google says that chickens have four toes per foot, unless they’re Silkies, which have five. The more you know!!

It’s a P.O.O.P. People — I mean, a Pit People tournament!

Later this month, competitors will return to the Pit to compete in the next legendary epic ultimate competition showdown face-off 1v1 tournament extravaganza! Better yet, YOU could be one of those competitors! Are you excited!? We are!




This PC tournament will pit individual players against each other in 1v1 matches. Form your strategy, stack your team, and take them on a winning rampage to victory! All tournament matches will take place between April 18th and April 26th based off of competitor’s schedules.

As always, we have prizes for those that find themselves in the top spots of the tournament. The winner (1st place) will get a Pit People Hoodie, and first loser (second place) will receive an Unlined Nest Hoodie. If you make it to the top, wear your prizes with pride! If we don’t have your size, we’ll offer you a replacement Pit People related award so that you can still tout your victory.

Challenge accepted?
If you want to join the fight, head on over to the Pit Official Offensive People (Yes, that’s P.O.O.P.) Discord server and let community organizers Normandia or KreeperKiller63 know you want in. They’ll get you squared away and set up to compete!

We’re looking forward to seeing who comes out on top of this tournament! See you in the Pit.

The Behemoth’s Free-to-Play Week on Steam

We know times have been a little bit weird lately. We also know that you’re probably trapped inside trying not to go all WWE SmackDown on your siblings or roommates, or that you’re maybe trying to convince yourself that it’s very cool and normal to be having full on conversations with yourself or the cat. It’s cool, we’ve been there. Some of us ARE there. And that’s why we want to help by giving you something fun to do!



From today until 10 AM PT on April 1st, 2020, all of our games will be completely free-to-play on Steam. If you’re looking for a something to do with your family or a fun way to catch up with your buddies online, we got you with our catalog of PC co-op games: Castle Crashers, BattleBlock Theater, and Pit People.

If you missed out on playing any one of our games, now is the perfect time to give it a whirl! There’s no catch, other than the fact that you’ll have to download them (but that’s pretty standard).

If you do happen to fall in love with one of our games and decide you want to keep it for yourself, all of our games will be on sale. Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater will be discounted by 80%, and Pit People will be 40% off.

If you play through the games in the week they’re free, that’s totally okay! Heck, you should beat ’em while they’re free! Enjoy, it’s our treat. We don’t want you to feel like you need to buy our games during this crazy time, and we do sales year-round; we just wanted to be sure that anyone who does want to buy them can get a sweet deal.

Stay happy, stay healthy, we love you.
