Game designer Dave Paladin announced that the finishing touches of Castle Crashers are finally in place. He also said that the game will undoubtedly be the largest XBLA game with a story and it will take hours and hours to go through with your buddies. There are also treasures and secrets hiding around in the levels and many unlockable characters. This game won't be out until it goes through the usual testing and certification processes and because of that there is no release date set yet but Dave did say it should take a couple of months at the very least. Paladin thanked all of the people who worked on the development of Castle Crashers as well as the fans who contributed in their own way.
his game is undoubtedly the largest 360 XBLA game that has any kind of story; Large in scope, takes hours and hours to go through with your buddies. Lots of little treasures and secrets hiding around the levels, many unlockable characters all with a different feel.
Now before anyone goes to turn on their 360 to give it a look please note that it takes a couple months at the very least from this point. It has to go through all the required hoops of certification/final testing & all that jazz before it will actually become available on the service. Because of this, amongst other things, there is no actual release date that we can give anyone right now.
I (and the rest of the team I am certain) want to thank you all for the patience you have shown as we worked on this project. The fan art and the amazing support we’ve received while working on this game has really uplifted our spirits and helped create something better than we would have been able to otherwise. You guys are awesome — thank you very much!!!!!
