Indie Game Pc Games Role Playing Game Action Game Early Access Free To PlayThe Behemoth, an independent game developer and publisher, has announced that the Castle Crashers DLC, Painter Boss Paradise, will be available for purchase on August 6, 2025. This is the first DLC for Castle Crashers in 13 years, and it brings a longtime fan request to the game - custom character creation.
The DLC will include new art for all official playable characters, weapons, and maps. Players will be able to use a template to design their characters and share them with the world through the Steam Workshop. The DLC also introduces custom weapons, which players can use to personalize their characters further.
The Painter Boss Paradise DLC will feature a new official character, Paint Junior, who uses powerful art to vanquish foes. Players can toggle the DLC functionality on or off from the main menu to experience the classic adventure's nostalgic feel.
Castle Crashers is an award-winning 2D arcade adventure that was initially released for the Xbox Live Arcade in August 2008. The game features colorful hand-drawn art, hilarious animation, and addicting beat em' up combat. The Behemoth, the game's developer, has a deep love for co-op (and co-optional!) titles and has remained true to their indie roots with a small team that doesn't rush the development process.
