To celebrate their “3 million leaderboard milestone,” developer The Behemoth has decided to bring back Castle Crashers Fight to 3 Million: Tournament of Champions.
In a post on the developer’s blog, they explain that they heard the outcry of many gamers hungry to compete, polish up their best combos and show off their hack n’ slash skills.
The first tournament—held last year—offered a Gold Xbox to the first-prize winner. The 2012 tournament is offering the same first place prize:
“Envision the look on your friend’s faces when you invite them over to play a game of Castle Crashers or Alien Hominid. It’s like breaking out the good china at a dinner party. Get your party started with your new shiny gold Xbox! All joking aside we are very grateful for all of your support.”
But that’s not all. First-prize also includes 25 “squeezy chickens,” (the cute little guys pictured above), one chonku-chonku mini-figurine in the colour of the winner’s choosing, all nine Castle Crashers mobile phone charms, a beanie hat depicting the logo, a similarly-emblazed t-shirt and a sweet-looking Necromancer figurine to be signed by the development team.
Prizes for other placements are detailed on the blog as well.
To qualify, you must register in the top 100 Weekly Ranked Arena players on the Castle Crashers leaderboards by noon (PST) on August 17. Eligible participants will be invited to compete in one-on-one Arena matches in a single-elimination tournament on August 25.
So go ahead and mark those days off on your calendar, and make sure to train your heart out.
