This is waiting. After claiming that XBLA title Castle Crashers would be patched up and good to go “as soon as possible” back in September, The Behemoth is finally nearing the end of its residence under the hood.

“We’re working with Microsoft to get the title update out as quickly as we can. Sadly, we can’t get into details about the certification process, but we’ve resolved the game’s issues with data loss and networking in addition to other bugs,” The Behemoth crew told Xbox 360 Fanboy.

“We can’t really comment on the release yet as we’re not allowed to talk about it because of Microsoft, but the update’s release is definitely reaching the end of the process.”

We never doubted you, The Behemoth. Not even for a month.

Speaking in this interview with Joystiq, Behemoth art director Dan Paladin has conceded that there are problems with daftly popular XBLA game Castle Crashers, but has assured that help is on the way.

“Yeah, there are certain network settings where, if you’re in a very specific network environment, it won’t work with another person’s connection and that’s what’s happening,” he said.

“But that’s something we’re already addressing by working with Microsoft to get a patch out as fast as possible.”

Lead programmer Tom Fulp also confirms there that DLC is on the way, but refuses to confirm what it is. Some people are just so fussy.
