Our team can’t thank you enough for the immense support, anticipation, and patience you’ve provided for this project, and we look forward to providing Steam Workshop integration to Castle Crashers for the first time EVER this year!!

Here’s a quick rundown of everything previously announced for the DLC:

• Steam workshop capabilities – create your own knight skins, choose your magic, and share with the world!
  
• New official character: play as Paint Junior, use your imagination, and create powerful art to vanquish your foes!
  
• New player and weapon artwork for all official playable characters (with an option to toggle on or off).

Last month, we shared a DLC development update during our end-of-year stream, which you can watch in its clipped form here! As announced in the video, our next DLC development update will take place next month!

There’s a lot of cool new menu art and screens we shared during the broadcast, but first, let’s get to the BEEF of this update – the custom characters! Need some inspiration? Look no further than these nine designs from our art team!

Green Knight, are you okay???When creating a custom character, there will also be sections on the template for a Back Off Barbarian piece, character portrait (shown in character select and level UI), and post-sandwich BEEFY form. You can get pretty creative with what your character can look like after eating a sandwich:

Beefy time? More like GOALIE time!

Since the template has multiple frames to animate your character's head in game, you can have some fun with their facial expressions while attacking or even at rest. Take our winking monkey, for example:

Upon loading up the DLC after its release, you will be greeted with a new screen offering options for either OLD or FRESH art. Well, we aren’t here today to reminisce about the year you were born, so let’s choose FRESH.

“WAIT – WHAT IS THAT I SEE AFTER CHOOSING FRESH? NEW CASTLE CRASHERS MAIN MENU ART IN 2025?”

That’s right! There will be six new art scenes from iconic moments throughout the game, all rotating in the main menu. This new main menu art will be available for ALL OWNERS of the game, even if you don’t have the DLC! Here’s a quick sneak peek at one of them:

Check out our recent YouTube livestream to see all six scenes!Next, we’ll head down to that freshly painted Painter Boss Paradise button and dive in! Here is another new screen that allows you to enable, create, or preload characters from the Workshop:

Hitting the ENABLE button allows you to see all the characters you’ve created or imported from the Workshop. You’ll have to assign them to a character slot in the ENABLE menu in order to see them in the character select screen.

🗿

From there, you’ll be able to choose one of these powerful creations during character selection! If you’re interested in seeing Dan and Amanda run around the map with the new DLC characters, check out the stream recap below, and stay tuned for an even BEEFIER development update coming in February!

Behemoth Santa is here with one last 90% off deal on Castle Crashers for Steam! Wait.. none of the knights left out milk and cookies for Behemoth Santa? That’s okay – the bearded chicken still has a present for you!

Today through January 2nd, you can grab any of The Behemoth’s co-op games for a great deal! Is there really anything greater than the gift of Castle Crashers?

The outpouring of both new and newly rediscovered love for Castle Crashers following the announcement of the Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise DLC was unprecedented and overwhelming ♥️. We’re thankful to have been crashing castles for all these years, and are looking forward to bringing Painter Boss Paradise to life and sharing it with you, the community who helps make this all possible!

As we move forward in our Roadmap, simultaneously working on multiple updates and projects all at once, we cannot overstate how much we appreciate your patience as we develop the DLC into the very best that it can be for you. The Sistine Chapel was not painted in a day, and though we’ve been trying our best to convey this concept to Painter Boss, he is understandably enthusiastic to share this DLC with you.

Make sure to sign up for our mailing list[beh.gg] and follow us on Steam and socials[links.thebehemoth.com] if you haven’t already! We promise that as soon as we have more information ready to share, you’ll be the first to hear it!

Happy Halloween AND BEHEMOTH LAUNCH DAY! What does this adorable game have to do with Halloween you might ask?

This. This right here:

Truly terrifying.

BEHEMOTH is now live on Steam with a 10% off launch discount! Are you ready to become THE chicken, dodge n’ flap your way through the skies, secure your flock in the nest, and collect as much candy corn as chickenly possible?

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/3027260/BEHEMOTH/

We made BEHEMOTH to celebrate the twenty-one years we’ve spent making games, and it’s all thanks to you, the community who has supported us through it all. From the bottom of our little (big) chicken hearts, thank you. We hope you enjoy BEHEMOTH, and as always, let us know what you think! See you on those daily leaderboards! BAAAAAWK!

Chick-or-treat!

We reached deep into our candy bowl for Halloween this year and found an egg – an egg that is hatching into Game 6 in only SEVEN days!

Presenting BEHEMOTH - an adorably infinite, “dodge n’ flap” arcade game, releasing Thursday, October 31st, right here on Steam. Become THE chicken! Legend says BEHEMOTH is perfect for a break in between the insane level grind for gold skulls…

Who is ready for a Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise DLC development stream?!

We'll be live this Friday, October 4th, at 2:00PM PDT on YouTube, Twitch[www.twitch.tv], and here on Steam to discuss some new features with our special guest Reckerless! See you soon! 😊

I am in your castle...squashing bugs...

Welcome back to the realm for a quick fix!

• We've updated the game to use Steam's DirectX installation feature. This will help new users who are having DirectX installation issues with Win10 and Win11.

May your Castles be Crashed, but not because of this bug in particular. Thanks to all you knights and princesses and penguins for sending in the reports that helped us in catching and fixing this.

Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise, the CCPBP if you will, is coming soon to Steam as paid DLC! The update will include:

• Steam workshop capabilities – create your own knight skins, choose your magic, and share with the world!
  
• New official character: play as Paint Junior, use your imagination, and create powerful art to vanquish your foes!
  
• New player and weapon artwork for all official playable characters (with an option to toggle on or off).
  
• Play as ANYTHING you want in Castle Crashers! But keep in mind Steam guidelines, please. :)

Watch the animated trailer for the announcement here, get inspired, and let us know what you’ll create with the new tool! And before you get too busy painting, be sure to check out our recent Behemoth Roadmap announcement to learn about EVEN MORE updates coming to Behemoth games here on Steam!

See you again soon, knights!
