    The Behemoth, the team behind things like Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers, has revealed the name of its upcoming game, which until now has been referred to only as "Game 3."

    The game will be called BattleBlock Theater. Here's a trailer!

      
    I'm still not entirely sure what this game is going to be, really. Looks neat, though. Here's the information released along with the above video.

    Having shipwrecked on a mysterious island you find yourself both betrayed by your best friend Hatty and captured by the locals. All of this is happening while being forced into deadly performances. This however, is just the start of your problems.

    BattleBlock Theater is our upcoming third title for the Xbox Live Arcade. Website to follow in the next few days and as we inch closer to the release of the title we’ll be unfolding more of the story online.


    I hate it when Hatty betrays me. That jerk.

    Those are some nice smooth 2d animations, better than Castle Crashers. Looking forward to see how and what this turns out to be.

    It looks like it's going to be a co-op/versus platformer, where it's a race to the finish, but you also have to work alongside your partner for certain puzzles.

    Looks like there's some serious co-op action that's going to be involved.  I wonder how much the story is just an excuse for these arena puzzles/fights or if it will a significant part of the experience?

    Looks good. It is the kind of weird I have come to expect from The Behemoth and the type of gameplay that is nearly timeless.

    Looks like...competitive platforming? Kinda like New SMB Wii, but the objective is to slaughter each other. However it works out, The Behemoth is awesome.

    If you have someone else to play through it with I would say so.  It is still a fun singleplayer romp but I just think it feels more like the sort of game that is best played with a friend.  I really enjoyed the game, personally.
