It's been a long time coming -- like,
a looooong time -- but it looks like
an upcoming DLC pack for The Behemoth's four-player beat-'em-up is finally delivering the oft-promised Chainsaw weapon to
Castle Crashers worldwide. It's part of the "Necromantic" DLC pack, which in addition to the gas-powered armament, will give players access to two new characters (the titular Necromancer and The Cult Minion), a new "Dragonhead" animal orb and two new weapons (the NG Skull Mace and, yes, the Chainsaw).
The Behemoth didn't reveal a price or a definitive release date for the pack, but did mention it is coming "SOON." That's their choice of capitalization, not ours. As in, it's not coming "soon" -- it's coming "SOON."

It's about time. Hopefully for free this time, I don't buy their excuse of "Microsoft made us charge for it" and if it's included in the PSN version it's a bit of a kick in the teeth.

Yea, that's why Valve has been charging you guys for L4D DLC.
Because they don't have a way of charging people on the PC.

Well, it's not The Behemoth's fault that it's the truth.
Snowblind @ Aug 22nd 2009 7:14PM
Plenty of other games have offered much larger DLC packs for free. I very much doubt Microsoft forced them to charge money for an unlock key.
Speaking of which, why was this content not in the game to begin with? If it's not Behemoths fault that we have to pay, why wasn't it just standard unlockable content, like the rest of the characters, weapons and animals. This stuff has been in the game since day one, yet they've purposefully held it back, was that Microsofts idea too?

Anybody 360ers still playing this? I kinda got back into it over the last month and wouldn't mind trying it out with people over live, as I haven't done that yet...
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Aug 22nd 2009 5:14PM
Yeah I have been playing again. Decided there was no reason not to get the last two achievements out of the game. Arena and Medic! I would be happy to try a 4 player game sometime. My GT is above ^

Markez @ Aug 22nd 2009 6:08PM
Schweet. My availability may be a bit spotty here in the short term, heading up to LA tonight so I can catch the Dodger game tomorrow and I'm moving into a new apartment this week. Will definitely get around to adding you fellas soon!
Lustis @ Aug 22nd 2009 6:17PM
I still play it every now and then. It's an awesome game! Still so much fun with a few friends!
Sunny @ Aug 22nd 2009 8:58PM

alienterrorist @ Aug 22nd 2009 9:41PM
Whats your [Markez] GT so I can add you?
Haohmaru (PSN - DimmuBurgerKing XBL - A Real Puppet ) @ Aug 24th 2009 9:14AM
I still play it when I want a beat 'em up fix. I only have Red leveled up (to 35) but I don't mind playing "from scratch" either.

CASTLE CRASHERS IS AWESOMEEEEE
Mouthsmasher @ Aug 22nd 2009 5:23PM
I want that chainsaw.
oOWallaceOo @ Aug 22nd 2009 5:30PM
I wish they had added a few more stages to the game, but I guess they are putting all their resources into "Game 3"
Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Aug 22nd 2009 5:34PM
When is the PSN version coming out?
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 22nd 2009 5:58PM
Sometime next year. It's worth the wait, though.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Aug 23rd 2009 1:53PM
? Weirdo down-voting ahoy!
Chyld989 @ Aug 22nd 2009 5:58PM
I just hope it gets rid of the cheaters that have appeared lately.
Saturn118 @ Aug 22nd 2009 6:31PM
The chainsaw was already in the preview build IGN was using.
Ausohoj @ Aug 22nd 2009 6:46PM
build for what? the PSN version?
Saturn118 @ Aug 22nd 2009 6:50PM
Last year when the were previewing the 360 version it appeared in one of their videos. In a later podcast they said it was removed but I can't remember if they gave a reason why.
EG the beast @ Aug 22nd 2009 6:53PM
I cant wait. What a great game.....
jaaaaaaaaaaames @ Aug 22nd 2009 7:33PM
i forgot i had this game i hope its free lol
Jason @ Aug 22nd 2009 9:23PM
I can has new achievements? Sadly, it's a deal breaker. I'm so pathetic.
Jason @ Aug 22nd 2009 9:24PM
Unless it is free, of course.
Rhamsey @ Aug 23rd 2009 4:09AM
Amazing news! but i sorta wanted the green alien thing from the spaceship level as an animal orb.
MonKENy @ Aug 23rd 2009 6:37PM
Im happy that they are still supporting this game but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release some new lvls or something to extend the game. I just got it a few weeks ago and while its INCREDIBLY fun its also equally as short. Id love a way to extend the game play besides running the same lvls a few hundred times to max out all the char,
k?thnxbai!
sweet greggo @ Aug 23rd 2009 7:44PM
Still $15? Welp, see ya later!
