Castle Crashers dev The Behemoth teases something involving hexagons?

The Behemoth has released a first teasing look at their fourth game in development, currently only known as Game 4. The reveal trailer drips with the developer’s signature quirky charm and hand drawn art style, but reveals very little about the gameplay itself.

The game is set after an apocalyptic event that was triggered when a gigantic, dead, six-legged space bear crashed into the Earth, throwing the world into lawlessness and mutagenic chaos. The only possible hint about the game’s genre is the fact that the video is suffused with hexagons, which video games have adopted from board games as a long-standing staple of the strategy genre.

The Behemoth first emerged from one of the primordial cauldrons of Internet culture, Newgrounds, with Alien Hominid in 2002. Never one to be rushed, the studio took six years to publish a second project, the fantastic Castle Crashers, and more recently BattleBlock Theater.

Each game has stood on its own in a different genre, but all three have been unified by a humor, innovative gameplay, and hand-drawn art–these are games made lovingly by players, for players.

“Game 4” will be playable at PAX Prime 2014  in Seattle, running from August 29 through September 1, so we will let you know as we find out more about what the game is all about.

"There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like
An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
