It’s rare to see a new DLC made available for a game that’s over 3 years old, but this past weekend, Castle Crashers received two.  The Pink Knight DLC—which has been available for PS3 for months—has finally made it to the Xbox Live for the low price of FREE!  Even better, The Behemoth is donating $1.00 to Keep A Breast Foundation for the first 50,000 downloads of the Pink Knight.  So, while you're helping the fight against cancer, you can play a lollipop-wielding rainbow-tossing knight.  The second DLC is the Blacksmith Pack (160 MSP) which includes an antlered purple blacksmith and several new weapons.  Along with the DLCs Castle Crashers also had a title update and you can see the full changes below.  It’s good to see even more life given to one of the best beat-em-up games out there. 

Castle Crashers XBLA Title Update 2 Changes

  • Download the Pink Knight (complete with new weapons!) in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace,  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.
