Castle Crashers on US PSN August 31

Hitting USA, Canada and Mexico first, Europe later.

The Behemoth has announced that the well-received Castle Crashers will be released for the PS3 via PSN on August 31 – at least in the USA, Canada and Mexico. European gamers will have to wait a little bit longer to get their hands on the game, although no release date has been set.

Posting on the official The Behemoth blog, the team explained why it's taken so long for the game to arrive on PSN.

"We’ve been working on Castle Crashers for PSN for about a year and a half. In that time I’ve had the fortune of meeting everyone at tradeshows and lots of people will ask me, "C’mon what is taking so long?". I have to say that we’ve felt the same way – our whole team’s goal is to make you all happy so we want to share it right now!! We’re super antsy. But like all of our games we can never rush anything as it’s necessary to make sure that every little piece is airtight. and fun!"

Castle Crashers was released on XBLA back in August 2008.
