BattleBlock Theater Trailer: When a Bear Loves a Shuffle Block

The Behemoth crafts a love story on par with the timeless tale of test subjects and Companion Cubes.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

The Behemoth has been working hard on BattleBlock Theater, its sequel to the mega-popular Castle Crashers; which apparently, at least partly revolves around a bear and a block that love each other. That just isn’t natural.

Regardless, the developer has gone ahead and made some assumptions in regards to what the two lovebirds must surely be thinking about one another whenever Prisoner #10322 (bear) isn’t using his would-be-lover as a shield against laser beams and enemy projectiles.

“Oh Shuffle Block,” the bear would presumably think, “how you tease me and play with my emotions! You’ve got a mind of your own. You do what you want, when you want. But please come back to me, I need you sometimes, you know?” Oh, the passion!

Here’s hoping they’re able to resolve their differences in time for release and go on to enjoy a meaningful, long-lasting relationship.
