No joke, Castle Crashers patch has released! [update]

by Dustin Burg { Dec 24th 2008 at 2:30AM }

Update: The Castle Crashers patch has now been released. Original post below.

It's so very true! The long awaited, long demanded and long delayed online co-op fixing Castle Crashers patch is but a few hours away from being released. Developer The Behemoth just informed the masses via their official forums that the Castle Crashers patch has passed Microsoft certification and will release as a title update later this morning at 5:00AM eastern (2:00AM pacific). We're speechless!

After chatting with The Behemoth a few weeks back, we were told that the patch was still being worked on and not through Microsoft cert. So, their recent announcement about its release has sort of caught us by surprise. No matter, Castle Crashers patch countdown is GO! Pinch us, we must be dreaming.

[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

Just in time for Christmas!

I have no excuse to NOT buy Castle Crashers now. Merry Christmas to me.

Rice @ Dec 24th 2008 6:36AM

It's already too late... Me and my friend is done with CC and I doubt we will ever go back to it...
Great news for people who haven't played it yet though.

WOOHOO! :)

finchburg @ Dec 24th 2008 7:26AM

Now you can throw it into consideration for Game of the Year ;)

A Christmas miracle. I don't care how long that patch sat in Microsoft certification, this should have been out months ago. Like the other commenters said, it's way too late for most people that have already played through it once or twice.

ANOTHER FESTIVUS MIRACLE!

Nice Seinfeld reference. +1

The steep 1,200 points tag is the only thing keeping me away from buying this. 800 ms points? that would be fine.

emirabal @ Dec 24th 2008 8:59AM

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-MEN

Bryan @ Dec 24th 2008 9:12AM

What a joke. How is it that these games can consistently ship with so many glaring and obvious bugs yet the bloody patches take 6 months to clear MS QA? Ridiculous.

Magic Whiskey @ Dec 24th 2008 9:20AM

Downloaded the patch and tried matchmaking this morning..no change so far.

In other words, the behemoth are liars.
