Caste Crashers Necromantic Pack Available Tomorrow

50
David Creech

Gamers will soon be able to return to Castle Crashers and experience two new characters, the Necromancer and the Cult Minion, and two new weapons, the NG Skull Mace and a CHAINSAW! There is more content and possibly a picture pack as well (although no comment about avatar gear). Can anyone think of a better way to celebrate the one year birthday of arguably one of the best arcade titles available? 

The subscribers had a blast playing Castle Crashers in a tournament recently, and this additional content should motivate all of you to dive back in (or pick up the game for the first time if you haven't played it!) Additional bonus: the content is only 160 MSP and releases on Wednesday, August 26.

  • I have been waiting for this to come out since... well, since we were teased with the Chainsaw back in November! Microsoft better release this SOON.
  • Ah, not really fair ¬_¬ i just spent microsoft points on the old geometry wars just to get rid of the 510 points i had, gheyy.
  • @1 Learn to read it says when it's out.
  • I really dont think im going to go back to castle crashers becuse the games has become to repeative for me. Maybe if they release a new campaign i might play it again.
  • Lolin @1 release date is right there :)
  • @3 They just updated it, dimwad. All it said before was that it was in Microsoft's hands for approval.
  • @3 I think he means when its on the marketplace , kinda like how i waited until 3am in the morning for MvC2 and it still wasnt their, dont make remarks like that when your misinterpreting their words
  • looks good
  • hmmm
  • 2 new characters and weapons is good but an expansion to the map would be better
  • Why won't they just release a campaign expansion and/or some new achievements?
  • It would be a good idea if they put it with the king pack for 300pts for people who didnt get it, still, going to be good though!
  • I still have to pick up this game. I have heard nothing but great things about it.
  • I'm not paying for this. Seriously, a year later and you release... a weapon pack? At the very least, they should raise the stats cap.
  • Sweet! Good thing I have enough spare points :D
  • Wasn't the first DLC just a download key? That annoyed me.
  • @3 learn not to be so damn critical
  • @ 10....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU....they shoulda came out with a level/map/story expansion with a few new weapons and an elongation to an already good story like a spin off or prequel idk..they're creativeve..they coulda done it...i WISH they made a second CC =/ but i DO understand how it might be difficult if they tried to make a seqel or suttin seeing as all the princesses WERE saved....but not a bad idea for dlc or suttin rii?
  • HELLZ YEAH! I've been waiting freaking months for this! I'm surprised I didn't hear about it earlier. Ah! The Guild Season 3 today, Castle Crashers DLC tomorrow... This makes the first week of college almost bearable! lol
  • Needs achievements!
  • Caste Crashers ey, never heard of it. ; )
  • FINALLY!!!
  • Yeah the really need to make more achievements, they should add a new online battle/tournament that includes three achievements. The most an arcade game can have is (15 achievements) and (250 GS points) btw...
  • love cc but wont get this its a waste of money theres already enuf characters to play with and i agree woth all the others the game needs campaign expansion and new achievements...
  • @ 21 WHAT THE HELL?!!!??! OMGAWDSSSZZSZSXSS pJ jk. ( ;
  • Sadly I bought this for a friend for their birthday so I feel guilty if I don't play with them. This should keep me occupied for another couple hours.
  • They should totally add a chieve for getting x amount of chainsaw kills. I'm sure dead rising 2 will. Gears 1 did. You can never go wrong with chainsaw kills.
  • good news.....ooooooh caste crashers....i love sequels...unless of course creech just didnt spell check lol :p
  • "Can anyone think of a better way to celebrate the one year birthday of arguably one of the best arcade titles available?" Yeah. More levels. That seems like a no-brainer.
  • @28 Wow, I didn't even notice that! And now that I think of it... why haven't they added on to the story, or even to the multiplayer? Hopefully we can look forward to those kinds of expansions in the near future... but who really knows with the NG people?
  • Well look at that, new stuff...how convenient :)
  • sweet! i have exactly 160 msp
  • sounds cool, wonder if they'll be any added achievements, probs doubtful. Anyone no what new arcade games will be released tomorrow?
  • 2 weps, 2 new skinned avatars with move other chars have/ lame moves no one wants, and 1 freakin awesome pet. sounds like to me were paying for nothin but weapons that the golden sword will beat out, 2 chars(this will be fun though) and 1 pet, which until level 80+, won't replace girafee. so ask yourselfs, is it really worth it? i will say it's a nice blend of new content, but there is so much old, that this will quickly become just as old of content as the king pack. i give it 2 weeks before it's pizaz wears completely off. i'm also mad, cuss i had 210 points, and spend t 80 on a gears shirt >.
  • Castle*
  • I've been on the fence about picking up this game for a while now. I wonder if they'll price drop it at all in the near future...?
  • i'll have to buy CC as i've never played it but constantly hear cool things about it.
  • hey clowns that keep buying avatar stuff. you are all YAG
  • Castle Crashers can still be fun when you want a 2d nostalgia run...I got the other DLC to get rid of points, but I don't think I'd invest unless it added significant content. Guess we will find out tomorrow.
  • Caste? You forgot the "l".
  • Caste Crashers :p Ive been waiting for forever for this DLC, I even had 160 points saved for it, until I added that 160 to a leftover 400 to get See The Future. I dont even know if I WANT it anymore!
  • Finally! But the problem i dont have money for points =(
  • caste crashers;p haha might get it or another games on demand title go burnout paridise
  • its about time!
  • Chainsaw? I get to kill people with a chainsaw? Crap, it's Gears of War 2 all over again.
  • Behemoth gave away free download codes for anyone who asked for the King pack a few weeks after it was released. Maybe the same will happen with the Necromancer pack?
  • This is my favorite X-Box Live Arcade game of all time. I was really hoping we would see a Castle Crashers 2 or DLC that added more areas to crash my way through.
  • Chainsaw? Who gives a fuck! I wanna see what the NG Mace looks like, I wonder if it's the same as the Mace Level Icon they use for Newgrounds... And I'm suprised they're still making DLC for this, they've already announced Game #3, and they still have to run their whole site, that's a shitload of work, and then you guys are asking for an expansion? Give them a break, they're not a big company, just 20 or so guys. But Avatar Awards would be pretty sweet, though they'd probably need to hire a 3d artist, since most of they're art is by Dan who is almost completely 2d only.
  • nice game , but i do not buy dlc if theres no extra achivements include
  • @48 well it is called the NEWS GROUND mace... -.- anyways i like playing the necromancer and cult minion but, i really dont care, ive played the game soo many times through unlocking bonus people that i could go as far as saying i hate the game now =/ i think they should spend all there time on game 3# now, now tht looks fun! =)
