Releasing June 01, 2025
I likeCastle Crashersa lot, but I wasn’t planning on nabbing theremasterfor Xbox One. Now I am.
Castle Crashers Remasteredreleases on August 05, 2025. If you own the original game for Xbox 360andhave an active Xbox Live Gold account, you’re able to download it for free through September 20 (and for $5 from that point on). The price without a loyalty discount is $14.99.
What’s new? A strange mini-game called Back Off Barbarian (shown above) that thoroughly confused Steven and me at PAX; larger textures; 60 frames per second; performance updates and gameplay tweaks; and smoother online multiplayer with faster matchmaking.
Also,Castle Crasherswill eventually be backward compatible on Xbox One. Though if you go that route, you won’t get any of the aforementioned upgrades. Those are only in the remaster.
