Castle Crashers Remastered PS4 To Launch Alongside Switch

Castle Crashers Remastered

The Behemoth, the studio behind Castle Crashers Remastered, has revealed its PS4 release date. As it turns out, the finalization of its PS4 version went swimmingly as it’s going to launch beside its Switch counterpart.

The Behemoth did mention a factor that other gamers won’t have. The lightbar on the PS4 DualShock controllers will glow to match your knight’s affinity color.

This is a long-time coming for console players. While Xbox One and PC have had a remastered form dating back to 2015, the studio never released the game itself on either the PS4 or Nintendo Switch. To bring back the franchise, which has proven successful for them, they announced they’d be making a remaster for the PlayStation 4 and the Switch. They later announced its Switch release date late last month.

They have no plans for cross-platform or physical editions at this point.

Both the Switch and PS4 versions of Castle Crashers Remastered is going to hit digital shelves September 17, 2019.

Castle Crashers Remastered Coming To Switch, PS4 Likely Close Behind

Castle Crashers Remastered

The Behemoth-developed Castle Crashers Remastered is coming to the Switch next month and the PS4 version has entered the finalizing stage. The remaster was announced earlier this year to be coming to consoles, but the release date was never made clear. Though, with August coming to a close, they felt it was appropriate to launch a trailer along with a blog post announcing its upcoming release.

The game got a remaster a while back for Steam and Xbox One. But, as said in the release date announcement, they’re generations behind when it comes to most game consoles. Their last PlayStation game was on the PS3 and the last Nintendo game was on the GameCube.

The post details what “remastered” meant and listed off the big differences. The game will feature all the charm its original had in store as well as five times the texture detail. The finicky gamer will also be happy to hear that 60 FPS is an aspect of this remaster and all DLC characters and items are unlockables. The remaster will also feature a brand-new mini game labeled “Back Off Barbarian”.

Castle Crashers was initially released back in 2008 as a co-op sidescrolling beat ’em up. The game continued to grow in popularity, leading the developer to make PS3 and Steam versions.

Castle Crashers Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch September 17, 2019, with its PS4 port likely close behind. The game will cost you $14.99 on the eShop.
