The Behemoth is a popular independent game studio that has been around since the early 2000s. The company’s first game, Alien Hominid, was met with widespread critical success. Since then, the company’s primary focus has been to bring back old-school video game genres with a level of originality that only The Behemoth could accomplish. Castle Crashers, The Behemoth’s second game, dominated the gaming market when it was first released and its continued longevity has brought Castle Crashers to the current generation of game consoles.

Needless to say, The Behemoth has earned its place in the hearts and minds of video game enthusiasts, so when the company held a livestream to unveil its next project, fans were immediately excited, considering that there hasn’t been any news regarding The Behemoth since the release of Pit People back in 2018. During the livestream, The Behemoth showed off a small, forty second trailer of their new game: Alien Hominid Invasion.
Based on the trailer and all of the information that The Behemoth was willing to provide, it appears that this new game will be a revamped version of The Behemoth’s first game, Alien Hominid, which was released back in 2004. This version of the game will feature new gameplay mechanics and progression systems.
It’s quite possible that some fans might be let down by this news, considering that this is not exactly a new game, but rather a new take on an older game. After all of the original games to have been released by The Behemoth, such as Castle Crashers, Pit People, and Battleblock Theater, it seems rather safe to just remake an older game, essentially.
Having said this, Alien Hominid is an old game that was released just under two decades ago. Since that time, there’s likely thousands of people that have no clue that this game even existed, so this new version will likely introduce so many new people to this cult classic game. Hopefully, this addition of Alien Hominid will possess the same longevity and popularity as Castle Crashers.
