We’ve known since May that former XBL-only Castle Crashers would be making its comical side-scrolling way to the PSN. Now we have a date. Well, a US one, the EU equivalent still a tightly guarded secret. US players will get their hands on the new and improved (an oxymoron by the way, something can’t be both new and improved) version on August 31st. As for when us European fortress smashers will get satisfaction, developers The Behemoth mentioned the following on their official forum:
“We don’t have a date yet for EU, but we’re in submission and things are going well. The regions are just all proceeding at different rates. We’ll definitely update when we have a date!”
400 quatloos on sometime over the next couple of months.

i understand the premise, kovacs, but i think it’s just over-thinking that makes that an oxymoron. surely the phrase is just simplifying “a new and improved version”? you can have a new version of something that improves it… jus’a’sayin’! like a patch, or a re-release. the PS3 Slim is a new and improved version of the fat.
and i’m waiting on word of the UK date!

“New and an improvement on X.” – Fine.
“New and improved” as a phrase is a contradiction. Something can not be new if it’s improved, improvement dictating that something has come before which was inferior. It’s semantics but Killzone 3 is a new game and an improvement on Killzone 2. Saying Killzone 3 is new and improved by itself is an oxymoron.

I hope the EU date is announced soon. I love playing co-op Castle Crashers on my Xbox. Want to play it with my PS3 buddies soon though.
