Castle Crashers Is Getting Its First DLC Since 2012, As Behemoth Begins Prototyping New Game

Indie developer The Behemoth outlined its plans for the future in a recent livestream, and it includes major updates to games like Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater, as well as work on a new game that will soon be in the prototype phase.

Castle Crashers, the side-scrolling beat-em'-up originally released in 2008, will receive a major update on Steam called Painter Boss Paradise, which is the first new content added to the game since the introduction of new playable characters back in 2012. The update will add Steam Workshop support, allowing for players to create their own characters and share them with others. The Behemoth states in its roadmap trailer that creating characters will be as simple as swapping out a single image and then letting the game handle all the hard stuff like animations.

For those who don't want to craft a character of their own, there will also be an official new playable character, Paint Junior, who uses their imagination to create art and defeat enemies. Painter Boss Paradise will additionally introduce redrawn models for all of the game's playable characters and weapons, but don't worry: The new models can be toggled on or off in the options menu.
