Age of Booty Updates  March 19th, 2009

An update for Age of Booty for XBox LIVE Arcade will be released on March 25th. This includes support for Avatars and for Party Chat, plus a few other fixes – players away from their consoles will now get kicked out of matchmaking, and a player that leaves a matchmade game will be replaced by an AI player. Finally, we’ll be integrating the tons of free maps that we’ve released since launch into the matchmaking playlists in order to spike things up. Should be fun!

We also just made an update available for the PC version of the game – version 1.01. This fixes a matchmaking error that some people are running into, and also an issue with the credits screen. Steam users will be automatically updated. Others can download the update here. There’s also an updated trial available here. This version resets the multiplayer trial period, so no worries.

AOB PC RELEASE, PSN AND XBLA UPDATES  March 7th, 2009

Age of Booty for PC was released yesterday! It’s available for just $10 on Direct2Drive, and the Capcom Store and will be available on Steam and other platforms soon. A PC demo will also be available later in the month.

The PSN version of the game has also gotten a major update in the form of Trophy Support. The patch will be automatically applied when you launch the game.

An official PSN Trial version of the game is also now available in the US, releasing next week in Europe. This is the real trial, not the one that was accidentally released in Europe way back in November.

Finally, a big update is coming for the Xbox LIVE Arcade version of the game. We don’t have a firm date yet, but it’s going through final testing by Microsoft as we speak. This update will add Avatar support and a few other nifty features, and along with the update we’ll be adding all of the free maps we’ve released into matchmaking. Should be fun, stay tuned!
