EDIT: Rolled back to Update 1.1.3


Hello everyone!

This morning we did another mini update (1.1.4) to BattleBlock Theater Steam after viewing some of the end-user reporting. However, we had to roll back to Update 1.1.3 due to an issue with Windows XP users after they had installed Update 1.1.4. We're looking into the issue now and how to resolve it. So stay tuned!


Thank you again for your patience. 'Til next time, goodbye!

We will be delaying the ability to sell and trade newly released special unlocks for up to two weeks after release–depending on how long that unlock is available.

The special prisoner will still be available to unlock as usual and will be present in your inventory. However, you will not be able to sell or trade them until they are rotated out and new prisoners are released. This will help to minimize the creation of duplicates within the market at this time.

This new policy will start with this week’s special prisoner unlocks. It does not affect special prisoners that were previously released.

Big thanks to the Steam Community for the recommendation!

Can’t believe the crushing excitement and playable insanity of our upcoming Ball Game Steam Tournament? Us either!

But don’t worry, you sensitive creative types — we haven’t forgotten you. Starting today, we’re accepting submissions for our BattleBlock Theater Arena Mode Playlist Creation Contest!

Anyone 13 or older can submit their original XBLA or Steam Arena Mode playlists for consideration. We’re accepting playlist submissions from July 15th to August 15th.

The very best playlists for each platform (as decided by our panel of judges) will be awarded grand prizes or honorable mentions.

The grand prize will be some awesome BattleBlock Theater merchandise signed by our Level Designers, as well as immediate and exciting recognition as an Arena Mode Feature in-game. Honorable mentions will also receive incredible BattleBlock Theater merchandise, and consideration for future Features.

There will be one grand prize per platform (so that’s two total — one for XBLA and one for Steam), as well as two additional honorable mentions per platform.

To read all the important info and to register your Arena playlist, go HERE. Good luck!
