Behemoth’s hilarious smash-hit, Castle Crashers has gotten its long overdue second title update, holding a bunch of changes and bug fixes, as well as two DLC character packs.
One of the most notable additions is avatar awards; yes; avatar awards. Never before have I wanted to decorate my virtual self with a game’s gear before, and the items they chose couldn’t be more perfect. One being an actual Cardinal Orb, I mean, it just begs to be worn. Just below, are the awards themselves in all their glory. Anyone who has played CC before, and completed the tasks get the awards on startup, others will unlock them via the methods also shown below.
   
Orange Knight Helmet – Defeat any boss without using magic.
Animal Orb – Cardinal – Enter the Industrial Castle and defeat the Beefy Brute
One of the DLC packs, the Pink Knight, which includes a new playable character, as well as two new weapons is completely free for all, and for the first 50,000 downloads, The Behemoth will donate $1 to the ‘Keep a Breast Foundation’. How awfully nice of them. Even if you don’t own Castle Crashers, go download it, and support a great cause.
A full list of the changes the update brings, and DLC details are just below:
- Download the Pink Knight (complete with new weapons!) in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, Â FOR FREE!!!!!!! ($1.00 donated to Keep A Breast Foundation with each of the first 50,000 downloads)
- Download the Blacksmith Pack for 160 Microsoft Points. Once shrouded in mystery, the legend of the Blacksmith becomes a reality. Wielding miniature antlered frogs, burning hammers of justice and springboard contraptions, this warrior is much like William Wallace (ala Braveheart), but purple and definitely not Mel Gibson.
- Added a Team vs Team feature to Player Match Arena (as opposed to the current free-for-all).
- Earn two new Avatar Awards—Cardinal Animal Orb and Knight  Helmet!
- Ability to check Player’s Gamer Cards in Xbox LIVE matches.
- Main menu News Ticker for all of your latest Castle Crashers and Behemoth Updates!
