BattleBlock Theater coming to PC, closed beta announced for Steam

The Behemoth have unveiled an improved version of BattleBlock Theater for PC and ”Hatty, his friends, and the S.S. Friendship” will soon be colliding with Steam. New features and enemies are teased.

Weapon switching, new Cat Guards, Steam Workshop for user created levels, item trading and, of course, keyboard and mouse support. Closed beta starts March 24th.

It will run a small window from the 24th to the 31st, and for those interested you’d better go register as a friend of Hatty. The studio doesn’t want live streams or videos of it.

PC BattleBlock Theater features:

▪ Weapon switching! Players can now switch between a primary and secondary weapon in game!

▪ New Cat Guard enemies throughout Story Mode.

▪ Steam Workshop integration for sharing user created levels.

▪ Steam Inventory integration for trading! This allows users to trade and sell weapons, prisoners, gems and yarn via Steam.

▪ X input, Direct Input, and Keyboard/Mouse support.

Check out the 2 minute long Steam announcement trailer, in typical Behemoth style. No Oculus Rift, sorry.
