A new game mode will be coming out for BattleBlock Theater that is a little like a friendly game of King of the Hill. Players will interact with friends and try to overtake the golden blocks and claim it as their own, and keep the other players off.

BattleBlock Theater will be heading to Xbox Live Arcade sometime in the next upcoming months, actual release date is yet to be confirmed but it will be in 2010.

The developer behind BattleBlock Theater, The Behemoth, had this to say about what to expect as the storyline:

"Having shipwrecked on a mysterious island you find yourself both betrayed by your best friend Hatty and captured by the locals. All of this is happening while being forced into deadly performances. This however, is just the start of your problems."

Take a look ahead to view some screens of BattleBlock Theater.
