Castle Crashers dev's outlandish turn-based strategy Pit People leaves Early Access next week

Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater developer The Behemoth has announced that its outlandish turn-based strategy game Pit People will leave Early Access on March 2nd.

Pit People, which entered early access on Steam and Xbox One last January, is described as a fast-paced, turn-based co-op adventure, starring a cast of "tragically unique heroes". It features a single player story mode, a two player co-op story mode that supports both local and online play, and a 2v2 Arena mode for four players.
