It's finally time for the very last P.O.O.P. of the year. We're so excited for this one last P.O.O.P.! That's right, it's the last Pit Official Offensive People tournament. And totally not whatever it is that you were thinking, ya weirdo.



This PC tournament is a no-holds-barred 1v1; pick your ultimate team comp, and take 'em all the way to the top (hopefully). Matches will take place between December 14th and December 22nd based off of competitor's schedules.

The first place winner will get a Pit People Hoodie, with 2nd and 3rd place getting Pit People T-shirts so you can wear evidence of your victory directly on your body. (And if we don't have your size, we'll offer you a plush or figurine instead!)


Join the Pit Official Offensive People (Yes, that's the TRUE meaning of P.O.O.P.) Discord server and let the organizers Normandia or KreeperKiller63 know you want to be a Pit People P.O.O.P. Participant. That's a lot of P's!

We’re happy to be supporting another awesome tournament, and can't wait to see what team cinches the win! Catch you in the Pit.

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!

Be sure to use code “SSGRAVYBOAT” at checkout to take full advantage of these deals.

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.

Happy holidays, and we hope you enjoy your behemoth-Behemoth shopping spree!



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

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!

Pit People players Normandia and KreeperKiller63 have been organizing a variety of awesome Pit People PC tournaments over the past few months. This time around, we are happy to announce that The Behemoth will be supporting the community’s next competitive event!

Grab a friend and get practicing, because on Saturday, October 5th, you’ll have the chance to go head-to-head with friends and foes alike in a PC Pit People 2v2 tournament! Winners will earn themselves a shiny new set of Pit People figurines, with second place getting two figurines.



Join the Pit Official Offensive People (Yes, POOP) Discord server and let Normandia or KreeperKiller63 know you and your teammate want in on the fight! No partner, no problem — the Discord server is the perfect place to find one.

We’re excited to support this tournament, and even more excited to see who comes out on top! We’ll see you in the Pit.

Buckle your pants swim trunks, put on your summer shades, and splash into some splendid news!

From now until July 9th at 10 AM PT, all of The Behemoth’s games on Steam are on sale as a part of the Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale!



Pick up a copy of Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theater for you or a friend for a whopping 80% OFF! Or, spend your summer in the pit – Pit People will be 40% OFF for the entirety of the sale, which runs until 10 AM PT, on Tuesday, July 5th.

It’s up to you to decide if you want to spend your summer crashing castles, performing on stage, or setting out on new quests, but don’t forget that everything is better with friends! Each one of our games offers hours of local and online co-op gameplay that will make your adventures just a little bit more fun.

As an added bonus, Pit People players will be able to play the game as a part of the Steam Grand Prix event, where you’ll compete against other players in a race to earn special Steam rewards! Be sure to check back for in-game Pit People missions to complete that will help your team rise to the top. You can learn more about the event on Steam’s website here.

Don’t forget, the Steam Summer Sale ends on July 5th at 10 AM PT! We’ll see you in the summer sun.

It's been a minute, but we have just a few fixes and improvements that we wanted to bring to the Pit. Please enjoy!

• Fixed a bug where certain special head/faces were displaying incorrectly in replays.
  
• Fixed a collision issue in CityTown Riot level.
  
• Wraith debuff slightly decreased.
  
• Stormstick and Thousand Shards damage slightly decreased.
  
• Wraith bomb initial hit damage reduction

Developer Note: These were performing a bit too well in relation to other things in the game. They should now be in a spot where they are more balanced, but most users of the items shouldn't really notice the difference in output. Players should not have to shift their team comp at all, as they should perform as usual.

We’ve just released a hotfix containing some fixes and improvements to Pit People Update 7. Some of these contain spoilers so we’ve added spoiler tags to them!

• Fixed a bug with a hex in Bloodbath Lagoon that prevented the player from progressing.
  
• Fixed a bug in The Tale of Earl and Starlene that prevented the quest from ending when choosing to stay and fight.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented The Sultan of Shivers from showing up in Gulga Burr.
  
• Fixed a bug in The General (CityTown Riot) that prevented the quest from ending when failing.
  
• Fixed a rare crash when being knocked onto hazards.
  
• Progression bar now displays as full with 100% completion.
  
• Removed the “>” from the name “Izzy”. If you’ve already recruited this fighter, you will retain the original name. And congratulations to all those who now have this rare name!
  
• Fixed an issue with Horatio speaking on the wrong side of the screen during one of the new quests. (Get it together, Horatio!)
  
• Fixed an issue with all the food in Fort Ruffage appearing as drumsticks. (Unless you like drumsticks, in which case, apologies)
  
• Fixed an issue with having multiple heroes. (Again, apologies)
