Today at PAX East, Castle Crashers developer The Behemoth revealed that it is working on an Xbox One game currently titled "Game 4."

Destructoid first reported the news, adding that the game is expected to be playable this year. More information about it is scheduled to be released at events like San Diego Comic Con and PAX Prime.

The site also obtained a piece of concept art for Game 4, and it is bizarre indeed. I'm at a loss for words; what do you make of it?

The Behemoth is best known for creating the Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid franchises. The studio also released BattleBlock Theater in 2013.

It is not much of a surprise to learn that The Behemoth is working on an Xbox One game, as the company is one of the many developers signed up for Microsoft's independent publishing program ID@Xbox.

We will have more on Game 4 as it becomes available.

Castle crashes is the best arcade game of all history, I play it at parties. We need a sequel! Dual wield weapons maybe?

God the irony in these comments is hilarious. Hyprocrites absolutely everywhere!

Sony announces 1000+ developers working on the PS4, with over 100 games releasing this year alone.. Xbox fanboys troll and say indies are dumb.

The Xbox One then gets one indie title. All of a sudden everyone loves indies.

Hilarity at its best.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I know. It's sad seeing people uselessly flailing at each other over indie titles. To put things in perspective, Sony has released about 20 indies on PS4 so far, with at least another 65 in development, and MS has released 1 indie so far with at least 80+ indie titles in development for Xbox One.


The fact is both consoles will have lots of indie games available.

Looks like something that would belong in Binding of Isaac. Maybe that's where the inspiration for this came from...?

Why do people say this reminds them of Adventure Time? Reminds me of that movie Spirited Away. In fact, the style seems like a complete ripoff!

Haha awesome, Battleblock Theater was one of my favorite games of the generation. It's tough to make a solid game and then add a ton of hilarity that makes it even better. Very excited to see this!

See, I can do it too.

The reason why it's a bad idea for Behemoth is because they are not a first party at MS. Despite releasing castlecrashers on the ps3 many many months after the 360, lots of people bought it. Would of had a hell lot more people buying it on ps3 if they had released it at the same time or a couple of weeks after. Same case with this.

See how I had a reflection behind that ? dumbass...

Yes, that's a bit strange. Interesting though. I'm curious to see what the rest of the game looks like.

Are you referring to a timed exclusive indie title now as an "exclusive" for MS? If that's how your brain works, maybe you should look at Sony's upcoming PS4 games for the rest of this year.

100 is a bigger number than 1 that's for sure. Unless you can't grasp simple mathematics.

With that question-mark at the end of 'Game 4' in the concept art, it seems even Behemoth aren't too sure about this...

I'm not the biggest fan of indie games, but Battleblock Theater was a pretty great platformer. Should be interesting to see how this comes along.
