The Behemoth Game no. 3 development video part one

behemothgame

The Behemoth has tweeted that a new development video for Game no. 3 has been released.

We have posted it after the beak.

So far, it’s still unnamed so “Game #3″ will have to suffice for now.

Looks like a Behemoth game to be sure.

After three months, Castle Crashers networking patch reaching “end of the process”

castlecrashers2.jpg

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.
