Fans of Castle Crashers rejoice! The Xbox Live Arcade title is finally making its way to current-gen. What makes this significant is the fact that it’s not just a re-release. It’s a complete overhaul of the game.

During the announcement The Behemoth let it be known that they worked tirelessly to get the game to run at 60FPS as well as redid the textures to end up at 4 times their original size.

In addition to the texture overhaul they have also announced new content in the form of a new mini-game called Back Off Barbarian which calls for our heroes to jump over their enemies until they reach the end of the level.

In a statement, Dan Paladin, Co-Founder and art director at The Behemoth goes into further detail:

“Over a year ago we started thinking about the future. Castle Crashers would disappear along with lots of other games once the ‘Last Gen’ would wave goodbye. Millions of people have enjoyed the game and written to us with such amazing experiences, it seemed like it’d be a loss to just let it vanish for any new or returning console players.”

The Remastered version of Castle Crashers will be releasing on Xbox One September 9th. If you purchased the original you can pick it up free of charge until the 20th. The original will be making its way to Xbox One via backwards compatibility soon.
