Castle Crashers Is Getting Steam DLC Over a Decade After Release

Castle Crashers Is Getting Steam DLC Over a Decade After Release

The smash hit Xbox 360-era 2D side-scrolling hack-and-slash game, Castle Crashers, is getting DLC on Steam over a decade after its launch on the platform.

Earlier today, developer The Behemoth unveiled Castle Crasher’s upcoming DLC, Painter Boss Paradise, during a YouTube livestream. The DLC will not only see an artistic update to its ensemble cast and weapons, but it will also let players design their characters using the Steam workshop. Paint Boss Paradise will also introduce a new playable character named Paint Junior, whom the devs describe as someone who can “vanquish enemies with the very power of their imagination.” Seeing as how the live stream is titled “The Behemoth Roadmap,” Painter Boss Paradise’s announcement wasn’t couched with a release date, though The Behemoth says it will divulge those details at a later date.

Castle Crashers DLC wasn’t the only thing The Behemoth announced today. In tandem with its yet-to-be-revealed release date tease for Painter Boss Paradise, The Behemoth also listed a slew of updates for its other previous release games:

  • Battleblock Theater is getting a quality-of-life update addressing visuals, frame rates, and bug fixes on Steam as well as a console port for Xbox Series X/S.
  • Pit People is also receiving a quality-of-life update
  • Alien Hominid HD and Alien Hominid Invasion are coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5

Capping off Behemoth’s cavalcade of announcements was a tease saying its next game is being prototyped. Little is known whether or not the upcoming game will be the long-awaited Castle Crasher 2 or if it will be a brand new game entirely. All the same, The Behemoth fans have a lot of gaming to look forward to in the coming days.

In our 9/10 review of Castle Crashers, we wrote, “Castle Crashers takes the best elements of traditional side-scrolling beat-em-ups and adds lots of flair. There’s some great humor here and some nice surprises that will please most. Of course, the most important thing is that it’s a whole lot of fun — especially when you play with friends.”
