The Behemoth's third game, BattleBlock Theater, was released on April 3, 2013 on Xbox Live Arcade and May 15, 2014 on Steam.

The Behemoth's fourth game, Pit People, was The Behemoth's first game to be released for Early Access on January 17, 2017 for Xbox One and Steam. The final version of the game was released on March 2, 2018 for both the Xbox One and Steam.

Later in the year, Paladin was working on developing a console video game when co-worker Baez approached him. He was a fan of Alien Hominid and asked Paladin if he was interested in developing the game for consoles.
