Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap Announced

Robot Entertainment :

PLANO, TX – July 18, 2024 – Robot Entertainment, an independent development and publishing studio behind the beloved Orcs Must Die! series, is excited to announce Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, coming to Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X|S in early 2025. 

In this thrilling new chapter of the critically acclaimed franchise, players can fight solo or with up to four players in action-packed third-person gameplay. As brand-new War Mages, players will evolve through rogue-lite progression, enhancing their unique abilities to eviscerate, incinerate and obliterate massive hordes of relentless orcs.

“We are thrilled to unveil the latest instalment in the Orcs Must Die! franchise," said Patrick Hudson, co-founder and CEO of Robot Entertainment. “Our goal has always been to push the boundaries of fun and creativity. With Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, we embraced the challenge of innovating within a thirteen-year-old franchise by listening closely to our fans and their requests. We've stayed true to the classic chaotic action and light-hearted tone, while introducing four-player co-op, new and versatile heroes with deeply unique abilities, expanded level variety, and new rogue-lite progression choices. This game is all about delivering the most exhilarating orc-slaying experience yet.”

Offering adaptive difficulties based on the number of players, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap lets players choose from 6 War Mages, each with their own playstyles, personalities, traps and abilities. Finding synergies between them, maximising their kit and tailoring playstyles is key to successfully smashing orcs.

Each intensifying wave of enemies is bolstered with randomised buffs and debuffs. Utilising the environment, while factoring in weather and time of day will be key in pushing back against the growing hordes. As the buffs and debuffs grow, players can choose to fight on or return to their castle hub to power their hero, weapons, and traps before facing a formidable Orc General in a brutal boss fight.

To further celebrate today’s announcement of Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, all games and DLC in the Orcs Must Die! series are now heavily discounted on Steam until July 31, 2024.

Players can learn more about Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap by visiting the official website, or by following the game on Facebook and X.
