The favorite color for many headshot-loving gamers is arterial red, which is what they see through their weapon's scope every time they pull the trigger. It turns out that pink is a pretty popular color too, at least for fans of Behemoth's excellent downloadable RPG/brawler "Castle Crashers."
The developer revealed in new blog post that a Pink Knight playable character is being added to the game, in response to that addition being "the single most requested character" among fans. Who knew? The catch is that only the PlayStation Network is confirmed to be getting it... for now.
Pinky, as I will lovingly call him, will be added to the PSN Store on February 8 with a $1.99 price tag. Before you start grumbling about paying any amount of money for a new color, know that Behemoth intends to donate 100% of the pack's revenue to breast cancer research charities. Now don't you feel like a big jerk for complaining?
Though there's no date listed, the developer hasn't forgotten about its Xbox Live fanbase. The blog post reads, "We are working hard on a title update for XBLA that will feature the Pink Knight as a playable character as well. In the coming weeks we'll have some more updates as to how and when this update will occur, and most importantly what will be included."
The fact that ol' Pinky is folded into a "title update" suggests that no fee will be attached to the new knight for Xbox Live gamers. There's no confirmation on this of course, with info still to come, but title updates for games on any platform generally come free of charge, usually because they're meant in some way to address bugs and other flaws.
Take heart though, all of you disgruntled PS3 owners. It may cost a couple bucks to bring Pinky into your game, but at least those dollars are being put to good use.
