Happy Wars XBLA Title Update 5, Happy Warrior meets Blue Knight!

Happy Wars XBLA Title Update 5, Happy Warrior meets Blue Knight!
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, April 25, 2013
Tagged: Gaming, Live Arcade, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

Toylogic today announced the release of the fifth title update for the Xbox LIVE Arcade (XBLA) version of "Happy Wars" for the Xbox 360.


This update realizes the collaboration between Happy Wars and Castle Crashers. With this update, players can dress their characters in gear normally reserved for Blue Knight and Barbarian. In addition to this new line of gear, the title update introduces a new game mode, namely the "Extreme Style Match" to the players of Happy Wars.

To learn more about what Title Update 5 for Happy Wars includes make sure you check after the break.

The Happy Wars Title Update 5 includes:
  • Collaboration Items with Castle Crashers - Items normally worn by Blue Knight and Barbarian, two characters popular among Castle Crashers fans, will be appearing in Happy Wars. These special items will be offered as rewards to players who play the new game mode, "Extreme Style Match". Players are guaranteed to earn one of Barbarian's gear, as long as they have unlocked any of the achievements for Castle Crashers.

  • The Extreme Style Match Game Mode - Extreme Style Match is a game mode where everything stays the same, except for just one element: the game balance. In this new game mode, the game balance is off-the-wall EXTREME. Everything will look the same, but feel completely different. Furthermore, this game mode offers reward items for players who play it.
