"It's been a long time coming -- like, a looooong time -- but it looks like an upcoming DLC pack for The Behemoth's four-player beat-'em-up is finally delivering the oft-promised Chainsaw weapon to Castle Crashers worldwide. It's part of the "Necromantic" DLC pack, which in addition to the gas-powered armament, will give players access to two new characters (the titular Necromancer and The Cult Minion), a new "Dragonhead" animal orb and two new weapons (the NG Skull Mace and, yes, the Chainsaw)."

"Indie studio The Behemoth has carved out an incredibly well-defined niche for itself, thanks largely to its games' retro 2D gameplay and striking artwork by Dan Paladin -- and so despite the somewhat unclear nature of its upcoming game, it already has a strong identity.

Beyond definitely looking like a Behemoth game, few details are known about the project -- but producer John Baez shared some details with Gamasutra, including the fact that the studio is a registered developer for not only Xbox Live Arcade but also PlayStation Network and WiiWare."

The Behemoth's latest blog, references how well Castle Crashers did on Xbox Live. For a developer made up of six people (watch the credits of Castle Crashers) it's amazing how well their game did. The blog mentions that the team is "prototyping a new title." There's no reference to what it could be, so it'll be a "guessing game" until some details are announced. Here's hoping it's Castle Crashers 2, but really anything those guys make usually turns out to be a quality product,.
