Come say hi at PAX East 2016 – Booth 4025
We’re excited to head back to Boston in April for Penny Arcade Expo East 2016! With lots of luck, it will be much warmer than PAX East 2015. Remember how last year we caught the tail end of Snowmageddon? Brrrrrrr. Let’s cross our fingers for sunshine and blue skies.
We’ll be back in our same location by the escalators located on the far left of the Exhibit Hall BUT our booth number has been changed to Booth 4025!
If you get lost, you can just look for our usual circular banner hanging over the booth. We’re also bringing back our Gift Shop and custom built arcade stations for our games!
PAX East attendees may recognize our Pit People dodecagon of single player arcade demo stations, our Castle Crashers Remastered arcade cabinet, and our BattleBlock Theater arcade cabinet.
New to PAX East this year:
Our Back Off Barbarian mini game in a new custom built arcade cabinet. This mini game is found in Castle Crashers Remastered on Xbox One and Castle Crashers for Steam.
Pit People co-op couches that will use our portable arcade sticks. This is the debut of our 2 player co-op demo–never before seen at any show we’ve done thus far!
If you find yourself enjoying Pit People and can’t wait for the game release, you’ll be able to sign up for our closed beta while you’re at the booth. More details to come in a future post to explain how to sign up at PAX East. Until then, you can quell your cravings for PP by getting one of our new Pit People tees:
Just a few of the fighters in Pit People.
It’ll be available at the Gift Shop at our booth for $20. Limited sizes while supplies last.
As we get closer to the show dates, we’ll have more info on other Gift Shop goodies we’re selling this year.

The AGDQ 2016 speedrun of BBT will be Insane!
Earlier this year we had the privilege of joining the commentators for the speedrun of BattleBlock Theater in Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), a charity video game marathon. We called in during the stream and watched them hit their goal of completing the game in 2 hours and 45 minutes with 100% of the items from each level. It was amazing to be a part of the experience and to see how well the speedrunners knew our game–they even had a few tricks we had never seen before!
For some reason, they were crazy enough to invite us back for AGDQ 2016! We have it’s a feeling because they’re insane–or at least speedrunners PJ & MechaRichter will be when they play BattleBlock Theater on insane mode!
The BattleBlock Theater speedrun is tentatively scheduled for Monday, January 4th, starting at 7:47PM EST.
Our voice actor, Will Stamper, will be joining the the commentators during the live stream of the speedrun and some of our team members will also be in the chatroom during the stream!
Note: the start times of speedruns get adjusted on the day of the streams due to people completing early or going overtime during their speedruns.
Have a Hatty Holiday!
We’ve heard you’ve all been nice this year and so we’ve brought a new toy for all the girls and boys who love BattleBlock Theater! For the first time ever in our online store, we have our Hatty Hattington Bust!
Stands tall at 5 1/2″, base 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″; Weighs 8 oz (0.5 lbs); $15.00
This statue was previously a tradeshow exclusive, but it’s now available in our online store and just in time for the holiday season! It’s great to place above your mantelpiece or on top of your pile of papers–easy on the eyes and functional too! How could you say “no” to Hatty? I mean look at it. LOOK AT IT!
The Hatty Bust will be a part of the Cool Stuff section of our Online Store. If you plan on buying any of our merchandise to arrive by December 25th, please check out our list of Holiday Shipping Deadlines.
Don’t delay. Bring home your best friend, Hatty, today!
