January 13, 2009 10:20 AM

In commemoration of what appears to be downlodable content Tuesday, Microsoft has announced that this week's Xbox Live Arcade release will be Castle Crashers DLC.

Coming in at 160 Microsoft Points ($2), the Castle Crashers: King Pack adds two new playable characters, a party-healing spell, three new weapons, and a seal animal orb named Pelter to The Behemoth's Xbox 360-only downloadable beat'em up.

The Castle Crashers: King Pack will be available this Wednesday, January 14.

Microsoft also confirmed that the next Xbox Live Arcade game to debut will be Twisted Pixel's The Maw, which hits next Wednesday, January 21, at 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

As cool as this is I'll pass, I'd much rather receive some new levels.

You know, something more to PLAY.

    You're right, and I would be willing to pay more for new levels, but this handful of items/characters is not near enough to make me want to pick up the game again.

  I'm still going to get it, but I agree. Maybe the new playable characters will have interesting magic spells.

  I agree. I haven't unlocked all of the characters yet (nor do I expect I ever will) so more new characters seems kind of silly. And one new animal orb? Considering how easy it is to add new stuff like animals I am surprised they didn't throw in a bunch. :(
