Castle Crashers was one of the first indie hits on the Xbox 360, proving that Live Arcade wasn't just a place for low-quality games. Behemoth's Flash-inspired arcade-style side-scrolling action game quickly became a classic, and more than a decade later, it's getting its biggest DLC yet on PC.

The Castle Crashers: Painter's Paradise update announced during today's Behemoth livestream will add a character creator that will allow players to design their own knight skins and share them on the Steam Workshop. Once the DLC goes live (the exact date has yet to be announced), players will simply upload their own images to the template, choose a magic power, and start beating up enemies as Mario, SpongeBob, Shrek, or any copyrighted character they can think of.

The DLC also includes a new playable character, Paint Junior, who uses the power of art to fight his enemies. Existing characters will also receive new player and weapon art, and players can switch between the original look or the updated look based on their preferences. While this isn't the Castle Crashers 2 that some players have been waiting for, it's the most attention the game has received since the remake, and should be enough to entertain players.
