Happy Holidays! 2023 was a relatively quiet year for us as weve been heads-down, working on some new ideas but we still wanted to share some highlights from the past year!
In January we released a free update for Nobody Saves the World which featured Magic Jimmys Impossible Dungeon and a new unlockable Dinosaur form. We were overwhelmed with the positive response to this update and loved seeing photos of your statue gardens!

Happy Holidays!

2021 was an eventful year for us, and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on it and share some highlights. Earlier this year we announced our brand new game Nobody Saves the World which is coming EARLY 2022. Its our most ambitious game to date and we cant wait for you to play it SOON Heres what people are saying about the game so far:

• "Blending the humor of the studios past games with the developers penchant for upending classic genre ideas, the opening missions of Nobody I played hint at a fascinating, funny, and fulfilling RPG adventure." IGN
• "It's pacy and fluid, slick, but light. It's great, and a good example of what this studio's all about. A layer of loveable goof, at ground level, that soon gives way to a much deeper well of combat, and systems, and a quiet mastery of genre." Eurogamer
• "From its weird genre-bending locations to its highly customizable gameplay and its funny, strange story, it looks like Drinkbox has succeeded in unifying a variety of different ideas for its take on the action-RPG genre. Gamespot

Happy Holidays!

Wow 2020 sure was a year, huh? Despite, well you know *gestures broadly*, were very fortunate to have had a pretty good year at DrinkBox and wanted to take some time to look back, reflect on the year, and share some highlights. When COVID-19 hit back in March, the city of Toronto went into full lockdown and the whole DrinkBox team transitioned to working remotely from home. There was definitely an adjustment period as we set up our respective home offices, switched to using Discord for our daily stand ups and meetings, and got used to our new co-workers -- ie. our cats and dogs and plants, who were especially excited about this working-from-home we were all doing. Weve since settled into a nice flow with the whole team working together remotely, and now we have a new Friday night ritual of playing games together via Discord, which is a nice thing to come out of this whole lockdown thing. Speaking of which, here are some of our teams favourite games they played in 2020:

• Cass: Spelunky 2
• Gabby: Hades
• Graham: Crosscode
• Ian: Devil May Cry 5
• Josh: Rocket League
• Kaitlin: Animal Crossing New Horizons
• Mayuran: Hades, Factorio
• Mike: Hades, Demon's Souls remake
• Steph: Astros Playroom

While we didnt have any new releases in 2020 ourselves, we did have some exciting Guacamelee! news to come out of this year:

• The Guacamelee! One Two Punch Collection was released in Europe!
• Juan made a cameo in Bounty Battle, along with several other indie game protagonists
• NOW Magazine named Guacamelee! one of their Top 10 Toronto-made Games (a lot of great games are made in Toronto so were very honoured!!)
• We partnered with Ship to Shore to create TWO vinyl records for both Guacamelee! and Guacamelee! 2! You can pre-order them both here

We also teased our upcoming unannounced game which weve been working hard on over this past year. Its a brand new IP were very excited for, and cant wait to share more about it with you in 2021
To help us develop this brand new game were working on, we added 2 new people to the DrinkBox team, including Josh Davis our QA Tester and Kaitlin Smith our Associate Producer! Hey actually, did you know were currently hiring for 2 additional roles including Senior Programmer and Game Tester? If youre interested in applying check out the job listings here. Wed love to have you on the team!
Thanks for all your support in 2020. We hope youre doing well and continuing to stay safe and that 2021 will be a much better year for everyone. Happy Holidays, from your pals at DrinkBox studios

Happy holidays! 2019 was an eventful year for us, and we wanted to take some time to reflect on our past year and share some highlights. We brought a lot of our games to new platforms this year including:

• Guacamelee 2! on Xbox One and Windows 10
• Mutant Blobs Attack to the Nintendo Switch
• A physical edition of Guacamelee! 1+2 Punch for Nintendo Switch and PS4 (with @LeadmanGames)
• Physical editions of both Guacamelee! and Mutant Blobs Attack for PS Vita (with @LimitedRunGames)

This year we travelled to a few places including the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, as well as Spain where Cuxo did a concept art workshop with Nintendo for their Day of the Dead festivities. At Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 we watched @TheBlacktastic do an excellent Guacamelee! 2 speedrun which was so exciting it ground production in our office to a halt! This year we welcomed back Steele to help us out on production on our new projects, as well as Gabby (thats me!) to the DrinkBox team. Juan made an appearance as a playable character in Riverbond and will be a guest character in Indivisible. Were super excited to see him in two of our favourite games and cant wait to play!

Its been a busy year for us! We're still working away on our secret project and are excited to share more when we can. In the meantime, all of our games are 75% OFF as part of Steams Holiday Sale, so if youve been meaning to pick them up, nows the time! https://store.steampowered.com/app/534550 https://store.steampowered.com/app/275390 https://store.steampowered.com/app/206370 Thanks for all your support in 2019. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday and cant wait to share more with you in 2020. -- Your pals at Drinkbox

Hey there Guacamaniacs! If you've visited Steam in the last few days, you may have noticed the launch of a new feature: Steam's Remote Play. Basically, it lets you play local multiplayer games online! Now seems like a great time to remind everyone that both Guacamelee! STCE and Guacamelee! 2 support 4-player local co-op -- a great reason to give Remote Play a try! To encourage people to do just that, we've put both games on sale for 80% off (along with the rest of the Drinkbox catalogue)!
Guacamelee! STCE Guacamelee! 2 We hope you have a blast!

Woah! Its been a whole year since Guacamelee! 2 burst into the world kicking and screaming. To celebrate, the game and all its DLC are 60% off until Aug 26! Guacamelee! 2 DLC 1: Three Enemigos Character Pack DLC 2: Proving Grounds (Challenge Level)
As always, you can get the Guacamelee! 2 Complete bundle instead, which includes everything above, plus the OST. Guacamelee! 2 Complete Bundle
Most incredible of all is the Mexiverse Fiesta that was recently hosted by MOTHER BASE and made possible by Leadman Games. The festival was held at a luchador-themed bar in Mexico city to celebrate the game, and is the source of the images youre seeing in this post!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Guacamelee! 2 a success! Were incredibly honored and touched by the response the game has received, and we cant thank everyone enough for playing and sharing it. Adios for now! -The Drinkbox team Photo credits (in order): @pepe_op, @3DJuegosMX, @happymusarana, @LaComikeria, @memohiervas, @ResetMX

Important Note: Owners of the *original* Guacamelee! on Steam (either edition) are entitled to a 20% discount for the week of launch. This is obtainable by combining:

• The 10%-off Guac 2 launch discount available to all Steam users, and
• The 10%-off launch-week coupon, available now, exclusively for original-Guac owners

Both discounts will expire at the end of launch week. We’re excited to be releasing the game after a lot of hard work, and we really hope you like it. One final tip: If you find this guy... turn back.

Late last year, we announced that Guacamelee! 2 would be released… “soon-ish.” Well, soon-ish has almost arrived at Drinkbox Studios! We’re thrilled to announce that Guacamelee! 2 will launch for Steam on August 21st for $19.99 USD. Check out the new launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y5n_oHsR9Q The original Guacamelee! launched in April of 2013. It’s now over five years later and the game still stands as the definitive Mexican-Folklore-Inspired-Luchador-Platform-Brawler-Metroidvania! How do we top that?

More Chicken!

The power of the pollo reigns supreme throughout Guacamelee! 2. Small tunnel to traverse? Turn into a chicken and strut right on through. Giant purple block in your way? Pollo Shot and smash that bad boy to bits. Wait… what’s that? An orange block? Smash it with an expertly executed Pollo Slide.
Pollo Shot against bouncy walls and ricochet yourself a rapid path to freedom. Experience the full glory of Pollo Glide by using air currents to reach unprecedented heights! But what if the entire fabric of the Mexiverse is at risk of collapsing in on itself? No problem. Stumble upon a secret society of prophetic chickens and prove your worth. Could JUAN be the fabled CHICKEN-MAN!?
As you can well imagine, these new chicken moves aren’t just for busting your way into exotic new locations. Pollo combat is frantic, furious and fabulous. In fact, there’s so much new chicken gameplay and content in Guacamelee! 2 that we embedded a genre-busting Pollovania completely inside of the main story’s Metroidvania. The only such game in existence as of the writing of this post… probably.

How to Train Your Luchador

As we were making Guacamelee! 2, it occurred to us that all of the new abilities we were adding would require extensive training for players to properly master. So, we recruited a batch of mostly competent and somewhat knowledgeable characters to fill the role.
As players progress through the world of Guacamelee! 2, they’ll encounter ability trainers. Each of these trainers has a specialty that they focus on. Complete trainer challenges and they’ll hook you up with powerful upgrades and cool new abilities. Climb to the peak of fitness with Doña Chamoya or sharpen your beak under the tutelage of Rooster Ramírez. Upgrade your grappling moves with Coscorrona or decipher Uay Coco’s instructions to punch with explosive force! However, if you really want to fight with finesse, visit Flame Face in one of his many tequila bar franchises and go toe-to-toe against punching Poncho (don’t hold back, he’s paid well for the job).

A Bigger Game than Ever Before

Guacamelee! 2 is an epic adventure that can be experienced alone or co-operatively with three of your closest amigos. Explore hundreds of new platforming and combat challenges. New abilities such as Eagle Boost, Rocket Kick, GOOOTCHA! and more add to Juan’s awesome arsenal of luchador moves. Upgrade your pollo form with Pollo Shot, Pollo Slide and a plethora of new chicken abilities (some secret, some not so secret). Select strategically from dozens of new skill upgrades to maximize your lucha potential. So how did we plan to squeeze all of this into a game the size of Guacamelee! ? We didn’t! Thanks to our poor planning, we were forced to create a much larger game than the original. You can expect a bigger, badder world, with all sorts of interesting nooks and crannies to explore and conquer.
We’ve worked extremely hard on the game over the past two years, and we’re super hyped that people will finally be able to experience Guacamelee! 2 so soon. Please feel free to ask any questions you have in the comments below, and we will try to answer them the best we can! Oh... and please Wishlist us!

We're celebrating going over 10k Twitter followers by giving away a one of a kind Guacamelee swag bundle! We're offering a Guac t-shirt, postcards, and buttons. PLUS the winner will get the luchador mask we brought to PAX in 2012!
2015 is the year of the goat in the Chinese calendar, and Guacamelee has a goat (magic goat man) in it named Uay Chivo (chivo is Spanish for goat). This contest makes total, complete sense. A big thank you to everyone who is interested in what we do, especially those of you from the Tales from Space days! We can't wait to share more news about Severed with you. <3

TO WIN:

1) Find a real LIVING goat (no lamb chops, goat cheese, goat simulator screenshots, etc...) 2) Take a picture of you (your hand) giving the goat a thumbs up 3) Send the picture to @DrinkBoxStudios on Twitter with the hashtag #YearOfUayChivo We will select one entrant at random next week, January 15th, and mail them their prize. Anyone can enter. Go find a goat now!

tl; dr

we're not giving away a goat

LAST CHANCE LOYALTY DISCOUNT, 86%-OFF

Didn't see the Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition on sale last week?

We believe this issue is now fixed, and the discount has been extended for an extra week! Also: Please note that the Guacamelee! STCE loyalty discount WILL BE DISCONTINUED on November 10th. If you’ve been thinking of upgrading STCE, this week is your last chance to do so at a deeply discounted price.

Hi all, just wanted to let people know that we just released a patch for Guacamelee! Gold Edition to fix some of the issues users have been experiencing. The patch should address the following issues: - Fix for game running super fast for some players. This was due to vsync of video card overriding the video settings that were selected in the game. - Fix for infinite hit on spikes at the end of the Xtabay battle - Fix for player jumping after selecting costume (double detection of button press) - Fix to inactive players being capable of triggering/canceling sync operations in costume shop Have Fun! Stay Safe! <3 DrinkBox Studios
