Indie developer The Behemoth has announced a release date for Castle Crashers DLC “Painter Boss Paradise”, their new boss-themed content.
Castle Crashers is set to launch its long-awaited Painter Boss DLC for Windows PC (via Steam) sometime this summer.
“After 16 years, when it came time to give Castle Crashers some more love, I started by drawing brand new knights,” explained Dan Paladin, co-founder and art director at The Behemoth. “I was able to do this fairly quickly and thought, ‘Why shouldn’t everyone have the ability to do this?’, so -BOOM- the Painter Boss gave us all a perfect opportunity to make a natural shift to creating. People have wanted new characters so often – this allows the whole community to finally share more than we could ever give them!”
Here’s a rundown on the new content, plus a trailer:
Inspired by the game’s iconic Painter Boss, the DLC will unveil custom character capabilities through the Steam Workshop and feature new art for all official playable characters, weapons, and the game map.
After almost 17 years of crashing castles, The Behemoth hopes to breathe new life into the game by allowing fans to unleash infinite possibilities of custom characters in the Steam Workshop.
