XBLA: Band Of Bugs Gets Avatar Support, Outpost Kaloki Based Expansion

Kaloki_10-768168.jpg

NinjaBee have been very quiet since the release of Kingdom Of Keflings last year, but they have finally lifted the veil on a substantial update to one of their classic games - Band Of Bugs is getting Avatar support, and a giant expansion pack.

For the main Band Of Bugs campaign your Avatar will take over for the main character Maal, so you will now see yourself fight in hand-to-hand combat against various bug enemies.

While it seems quite bizarre to plug your Avatar into a bug-based game, if Keflings has taught them anything it's Avatar support will absolutely help your game sales. Band Of Bugs didn't sell as well as other NinjaBee's titles so this addition could bring Band Of Bugs some additional sales.

The new expansion pack actually has little to do with Band Of Bugs, but instead is more about Outpost Kaloki, their first Xbox Live Arcade game. The Tales Of Kaloki expansion will contain a 10-level campaign with characters from both games, and all new skills and strategies.

Both the update and expansion will be available next week, on July 8th. This is nice and all, but where's the Kingdom of Keflings DLC?

Comments

This is awesome. I'm definately buying this expansion.
