BattleBlock Theater & Castle Crashers 80%OFF until January 2nd!
The Behemoth's next game, Pit People, will be in Early Access starting January 13, 2017
We’re aiming for our next milestone, which is having our first game ever on Steam Early Access starting January 13, 2017! Pit People will be the first time we do early access and it’ll be the first time we release a digital title on two separate platforms (the other being Xbox One) in the same year!
ABOUT PIT PEOPLE
In this fast-paced, turn-based, co-op adventure players will quest and explore, find awesome loot, customize fighters, and recruit strange species! Pit People is a strategic game of positioning with single player story mode, two player co-op story mode, and up to four players for 2v2 in the Arena. This game is currently being developed for Xbox One and Steam.

New Merch in our Online Store!
BattleBlock Theater Hoodie!
It’s that time of year where we get fancy new gear to give holiday cheer! We’ve just added several merch items to our Online Store!
The photo has the hoodie modeled by our very own Ian Moreno. For those of you who have played the Pit People demo or beta, you may recognize his voice as Yosef — oh, and he’s also one of our game developers and makes music too! The rest of the items below are also modeled by Ian with the exception of the baby onesies (we tried but it just didn’t work).
If you’re planning on doing some holiday shopping and hope to get gifts delivered before December 25th, please check out the Shipping Info section for shipping deadlines.
We look forward to seeing everyone wearing these new hoodies, tees, pins and onesies! If you aren’t shy about doing some modeling, like Ian did, please tweet your photos at us (@thebehemoth)!
You can also nominate BattleBlock Theater & Castle Crashers for any of the Steam Award categories.
How to Nominate:
1) Go to the game’s Store page and click on the “Nominate” button
2) Choose the Category you want to nominate the game for and then click “Save”
3) Your nomination should be updated. You can change to a different category anytime before nominations end by clicking on the nomination.
This is the first time Steam is letting the Steam Community decide the Nominees and each person who nominates a game will get a Steam badge! We hope you’ll nominate Castle Crashers Steam and BattleBlock Theater Steam for one of the categories.
In any case, thank you for all of your support these years by playing our games and spreading the word!

Halloween Contest 2016
We’re hosting another Halloween Contest this year (our 9th annual!!) and we’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
To enter our contest just post a photo of your Behemoth related costumes or decorations in this thread on our Behemoth forums. Behemoth related games include BattleBlock Theater, Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid, Alien Hominid PDA Games, Super Soviet Missile Mastar, or Dad ‘N Me. You could even do characters based on our current game in development, Pit People!
This thread will be locked on November 2nd at 5PM PDT, so be sure to get your entries in before we close the contest. We will review the entries and on November 4th we’ll select three winners for each category: (1) Costumes; (2) Decorations. That means we’re giving out 6 prize packages!
As always, judging will be based on creativity, originality, and hilarity or ability to inspire fear. Prize packages will include a Pit People Fighter tee and commemorative Behemoth pin (available only at PAX shows we exhibit at), plus your choice of Alien Hominid HD, Castle Crashers, or BattleBlock Theater game code (if you already own all three games, then you can give it to a friend!).
Rules:
Group entries are allowed! (Note: One prize per winning entry is awarded)
Your entry must be your own creation (or your group’s, parent’s, family’s).
Only new costumes and decoration entries will be accepted (entries that were submitted in previous years will not be eligible).
Cosplay images are acceptable as long as they weren’t entered in a previous contest.
Decorations can include pumpkin carvings, special treats, or other decorations in or outside of your abode.
You may enter more than once.
Need ideas?? Check out all the exemplary entries from the winners of our last Halloween contest HERE!
Pit People Steam Closed Beta starts next week, September 28th!
We try not to post too many non-BBT announcements in this hub, but we're too excited for our upcoming event and really wanted to share this info:
Our Pit People Steam Closed Beta begins next week on September 28th! Pit People is our latest game in development. It's a fast-paced, turn-based, co-op adventure featuring the voice talents of Will Stamper (narrator in BattleBlock Theater).
If you haven’t signed up for the Steam Closed Beta, you can still register by going to http://www.pitpeople.com/beta/steam
For those who Beta Tested for the Xbox One closed beta, the signup does not carry over, so you’ll need to register for the Steam Closed Beta as well. Just make sure to sign up with all the same info that you did for Xbox One and you should automatically qualify.
The Steam Beta will include all or most of the work we’ve been doing throughout the Xbox One Beta build running, so if you played the Xbox One beta last week and join us on Steam next week then you’re sure to run into new unlocks, areas, maps, balance changes and features within. A whole weapon category for humans was completely rehauled into something NEW! Whoa! See you there!
We'll be at PAX West Booth 1501
Come see our post on anything-and-everything Behemoth at PAX West 2016 in Seattle, Washington! We’re gearing up for our last expo for the summer and it’s going to be our biggest booth ever.
We’re going to have four fun days of video game madness from September 2-5 at our Booth (#1501). Are you ready for a sneak peek at what we’re bringing?
Last week was our 14th year in a row showing off our games at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) and just two weeks before that we were in Texas for our fourth year at Rooster Teeth Expo (RTX)! Thank you again to those who stopped by our booth to play our games, support us through Gift Shop purchases, and for chatting with us!
Check out what we did during our five days at SDCC:
