Hey you -- we know you've been waiting endlessly for the Pink Knight Hat to come to our online store, and we have good news for you.

It's here.

In fact, there's a whole bunch of new apparel for you to get into your hands and onto your body. Oh yes.



I know what you're thinking -- "But it's almost the holidays! I want my cool new Behemoth stuff to arrive before then so I can give it to my friend/family/dog/self!"

Well my friend, I have even more good news for you. We'll be shipping merch orders right until we head out for our own holidays, so you have shipping options to get your goods in your hands by December 25th so long as the order is made before December 20th.* (But of course, the earlier the better.)



But wait, there's more! If you order at least $40 worth of merch, we'll also provide you with free neck-warmth. Just add a scarf to your cart, and it's all yours. This offer will only be available until December 20th, so don't wait!

Happy holidays!

*Please note that some of these options may require additional shipping fees and may be subject to other holiday post delays out of our control.

You’ve probably seen 1,000,012 articles about Black Friday deals already, so we promise to keep this one short and sweet. You want the Behemoth goods, and we’ve got the Behemoth-sized deals.

Let’s start with what’s cookin’ in our merch store:



From November 27th through December 2nd, merch in the Behemoth Store will be 25% off for a Cyber Turkey Sale!* Well, except for Pit People Figurines — just because those will be a whopping 50% off instead!

If you’re looking to experience the wonderful world of digital media instead (aka, our video games) you can also enjoy discounts on our library of games!



The Steam Autumn Sale is on now and runs through December 3rd at 10 AM PT. If you’ve been paying attention to all of our recent Steam sales, you could probably guess the deals: Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater will be discounted at 80% off, and Pit People will be 40% off.

*Some exclusions may apply! Be sure to double-check your cart at checkout.

Earlier this month, Apple ended support for 32-bit Mac applications with the launch of macOS Catalina 10.15. This means that if you upgrade your macOS, you will be unable to use any 32-bit applications that you may have on your computer.

Today, we released a 64-bit update for Castle Crashers that will allow Mac users to continue playing the game on their newly upgraded operating systems. This is completely free to download; just update your game through the Steam client and you should be good to go.

If you run into any issues with the game after downloading the update, please be sure to submit a ticket to http://support.thebehemoth.com so we can look into it and provide assistance.

To learn more about the recent macOS update and how it may impact other applications, please see Steam’s FAQ here.

Happy castle crashing!

Sales is as sales does, and this month has been full of them! Last week we had some special deals in store for all of the singles out there, but this week we’re flipping things around completely and encouraging some more co-op as we take part in Steam’s Remote Play Together Sale from November 20th to November 25th!



That means that from Wednesday, November 20th at 8 AM PT through Monday, November 25th at 8 AM PT, all of our games will be on sale on Steam! Get Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theater for 80% off, or Pit People for 40% off, then test out remote play with somewhere from one to three of your closest friends!

For those who don’t know, Steam’s new Remote Play feature allows users to play games with local co-op modes together — even if they aren’t in the same room. You can learn more about this shiny new feature here. It looks like it’s going to be an excellent new way to spend quality time gaming with your friends!

We hope you enjoy the steals and deals, but don’t forget — holiday shopping is coming next! It’s almost like the fun never ends.

From today through November 1st at 10 AM PT, all of our games will be on sale on Steam as part of the Steam Halloween Sale!


Our games might not be the spooky scariest, but those cat guards from BattleBlock Theater can be pretty intimidating with their claws and what not. Same with the skeletons in Castle Crashers — all bones and no flesh! And the wraiths and zombies in Pit People are frightening too!! AH, okay, maybe we sort of are scary!



Anyway, if you’re feeling less afraid than I am, you’ll be able to pick up Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater for the frighteningly good price of 80% off, and Pit People for a scary good deal of 40% off! OOOoooOOOooo!

On top of that, don’t forget that we’re also holding our (almost) annual Behemoth Halloween Contest. Make a Behemoth-inspired Halloween decoration and share a picture to social media using the hashtag #BehemothHalloween, and you could be a winner! You can find more on that here.

We hope you find all of this Halloween fun to be a sweet treat!

If you saw last week’s blog post about our upcoming European tradeshow tour, then you know that we’re in England for EGX London today! As a part of the show happenings, we’re also taking part in Steam’s special Live from London sale that also kicks off today. This means that friends (that’s you) will be able to get discounts on our games whether they’re at the show or not!



From October 17th (today) through October 20th, all Behemoth games on Steam will be on sale during the entirety of Valve’s Live from London Steam Sale! This one is quick and will only last through the weekend, so you’re going to want to act fast if you want to take advantage of all the sweet deals.

It’s a great time to get Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theater (or both of them) for yourself or a friend, because the two games will be on sale for a whopping 80% off! That’s no small savings on hours of fun. Beyond the classics you know and love, Pit People will also be available for 40% off! If you haven’t played our newest game, you’ll want to pick up the turn-based adventure.

It’s the perfect time to round out your Behemoth games collection, on Steam… just make sure you do so before the sale ends on October 20th.

There’s a chill in the air, and things are starting to feel just a little bit spooky. That could only mean one of two things: either someone left the door open, or it’s almost Halloween!

We just checked and the door is definitely shut, so we’re going with Halloween… which means it’s time for our very own Halloween contest! This year we’re looking for Behemoth-inspired Halloween decorations to fill us with fright and delight.



To enter, just post a photo of your Behemoth Halloween decor to Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook using the hashtag #BehemothHalloween before November 3rd, 2019 at 11:59 PM PT. We will review the entries and select three winners during the first week of November, with one winner for each category: (1) Best in Show, (2) Most Creative, and (3) Spooky Scariest. As the category names suggest, we will be judging based on creativity, originality, and the ability to make us feel things, scary or otherwise. The winner of each category will receive TWO Pit People figurines!

Check out all the official rules and deets here:

• No purchase necessary.
  
• Must be 18 or older to enter (if in the US), or have parental consent.
  
• Group entries are allowed! (Only one prize pack per winning individual or group).
  
• Your entry must be your own creation (or your group’s, parent’s, family’s).
  
• Only new decoration entries will be accepted (entries that were submitted in previous years will not be eligible).
  
• Decorations can include pumpkin carvings, special treats, or other decorations in or outside of your home… but they don’t have to! Mix it up, and be creative!
  
• You may enter more than one unique entry.
  
• International participants are welcome!

If you need a little inspiration to kick start your art, you can take a gander at the winners from our last Halloween contest here!

Later this month when macOS Catalina 10.15 releases, Apple will be ending support for 32-bit Mac applications. This means that if you update to the new macOS you will no longer be able to use any 32-bit Mac applications that you have, which may include Castle Crashers. However, these games will not be removed from your library and will continue working on earlier versions of the macOS as well as Windows.

We are currently working on a 64-bit version of Castle Crashers that will be free to update to, and will allow all users to play the game on Catalina 10.15. Although it is nearing completion, we do not have an estimated release date for the update at this time.

If you want to keep our (and others') 32-bit games playable on your Mac, you have several options. Workarounds include not upgrading your macOS or using the application Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac computer. To learn more about your other options and how all of the coming changes will effect Mac users, please see Steam’s FAQ here.

Tomorrow marks the 11th anniversary of Castle Crashers, which is no small day. We’ll be celebrating 11 years of Castle Crashers and the upcoming launch to Nintendo Switch and PS4 with the game’s music, and you’re invited to party with us!

Every week starting tomorrow, August 27, 2019 and running all the way through October 8, 2019, a musician will be covering one or more of the songs off the Castle Crashers soundtrack. You'll be able to catch these covers on YouTube, or watch them streamed live on Twitch.



We’ll be updating this blog with the new dates and times each week, so be sure to check back. For now, we’ll kick off the celebrations with the schedule for the first two musicians:


The8BitDrummer is a drummer (big surprise there) who streams live covers to an exuberant audience on Twitch! We might be biased, but we're particularly impressed with his cover of BattleBlock Theater's Secret Stage music because he somehow managed to sing the entire thing.

He'll be starting off the celebration strong and playing through the ENTIRE Castle Crashers soundtrack, so you won't want to miss out on this madman's performance!


FamilyJules is a rad guitarist that is best known for his video game music covers — in fact, he's done well over 100! Of course, a part of that number is made up by Castle Crashers covers. If you're feeling a craving for rock and bones, we recommend checking out his original Necromancer Theme cover.

He'll be premiering an all-new Castle Crashers cover that will have you smashing that replay button!


We have even more artists on the way to delight your eardrums and tug on your heartstrings by tugging on their instrument strings. Stay tuned (get it, tuned?) and check back here each week to see when the next show is!
