The Castle Crashers news keeps on flowing from The Behemoth's recently launched dev blog with news of weapon count and another playable character getting the "big reveal" treatment.Today, we learn that Castle Crashers will feature 40 (count 'em), 40 different unlockable weapons to dish out the pwnage and can be discovered via a shop purchase, in hidden treasure chests, buried underground and bosses will even give up their weaponry. Not only will Castle Crashers be overflowing with weapons galore, we also get a first glimpse at another playable character (seen above) and even though it doesn't have an official name (The Behemoth admits they hate naming things) we're going with "periwinkle knight". And yes, he is holding a blue lightsaber.

I wonder if we can expect other characters from Newgrounds that the Behemonth were involved with. Alien Hominid, Dan 'n Me, or some other characters these guys have been involved with.
Granted, it would probably end up taking away some of the focus from the weapons/magic/beat 'em up nature of the game, but with 22 character slots I think they could show one or two. Newgrounds Rumble made it work thought, so it could work in theory.
I'll be happy either way, as long as the game comes out.
