Castle Crashers storming PS3, playable at Comic-Con

by Randy Nelson on Jul 22nd 2009 9:00PM

The Behemoth's four-player, hack 'n slash Xbox Live Arcade title Castle Crashers has crashed right through the wall of platform exclusivity and is coming to PlayStation 3, the developer announced on the eve of San Diego Comic-Con. According to GameSpot, a playable version of the game for PS3 will be on the show floor tomorrow for attendees to gets their hands on.

Castle Crashers hit Xbox Live Arcade on August 27, 2008 and reached a milestone of 1 million players last month. The version for Sony's console has yet to be dated -- or detailed beyond the fact that it'll include Trophies -- but might we suggest dropping it on the one-year anniversary of the 360 version's launch? (With lots of new goodies, of course.)

EXCELLENT!! I will be downloading this!

Great that it's coming to the PS3 (though I'd LOVE it on PSP), but wow am I displeased with Behemoth.

The 360 made the game popular, what happened to the rest of the content that was promised for that? It's going to the PS3, while we we're left to put up with an inferior version after having to sit through a game riddled with glitches and non-working modes?

In the future, I'm definitely going to wait to see if their games are ported to anything else..

MUST-HAVE.

Castle Crashers + Fat Princess = Win.

YES! *Final Fantasy Battle Victory Music*

took them long enough... now when is fat princess coming to 360 people dont bother buy it on the better system XBOX 360 kthxbai =]

you DO Realize that FP is Published by Sony Right??

Dunno if they own the Trademark for it tho...

Thank you for that eye-opening informative of how the 360 was better then the 360. I really should expect more of these highly intelligent posts from you, and i will be keeping a close watch.

Was better then the ps3*

How long after it's released can we expect it to be playable?

What's my motivation for buying Castle Crashers a second time?

Thank you, Behemoth. About friggin time.

I lost a bit of respect for them when they made it 360 exclusive... indie developers shouldn't be swayed by bribes. It should be about the artistry, and bringing that experience to everyone, not the money. I still consider Behemoth an indie company.

Anyways, I already played it to death on the 360. But I will definitely buy it again on PS3 just to support this move.
