Performance updates and gameplay tweaks

As a thank you for your support over the years, The Behemoth has announced a limited time promotion for Castle Crashers Remastered. If you purchased the Xbox 360 version of Castle Crashers you will be able to download the Xbox One version for free. This is a very limited time offer though. Castle Crashers Remastered will be released on September 9, 2015 and you will have through September 20, 2015 to redeem your free copy. Yes, less than two weeks! They are calling it the “Thank-You-For-Saving-Our-Lives-That-One-Time” promotion. If you miss out on this promotion and bought the game on Xbox 360 you will still be able to get Castle Crashers Remastered at a reduced price of $5.00. If you didn’t own it on Xbox 360 then the normal price will be $14.99.
Additionally, the Xbox 360 version of Castle Crashers will be available on Xbox One via backwards compatibility once it launches in November. Obviously the new features and upgrades in Castle Crashers Remastered on Xbox One won’t be in the backwards compatible version.
