As CES chugs along quite nicely, The Behemoth has finally come out and started talking about exactly what they're going to do in celebration of reaching two million gamers on Castle Crashers. However, that isn't all that happened today, as an upcoming RTS has gone gold and Dragon Age 2 DLC was detailed among other events.
Kalypso announced today that their lair builder Dungeons has gone gold and will be shipping to retailers on February 8th. In the game, players will he tasked with building up a dungeon and luring in wayward heroes to explore it. After capturing them, dungeon lrods can then use their energy to build even more elaborate creations.
Passing 200 million users on an XBLA game is a pretty big deal, so big that you need to have an equally awesome celebration to go with it. The Behemoth is aware of this and has announced that to celebrate passing this milestone they are giving away a 24k gold plated Xbox 360, yes you read that correctly.
Winning the golden box won't be easy though, as the indie developer has arranged a tournament of champions in order to decide who gets the prize. In order to be eligible, gamers must be in the top 100 on the Castle Crashers leaderboards by January 28th.
After qualifying, gamers will take place in a set of one-on-one arena battles on February 5th to determine a winner. The champion will get the golden Xbox, second place will get a Behemoth themed Xbox 360 Elite while third will apparently get 250 squishy chickens. The top 24 and 100 will also receive prizes.
