At this point, you have to start asking yourself what Orcs ever did to Robot Entertainment, the developers behind the wildly successful Orcs Must Die franchise, which is now gearing up for the release of the fifth, yes, fifth entry into the series!
Orcs Must Die Deathtrap is set to be the fifth game in the Orc slaughtering franchise. Gamers will, either alone or with three friends, massacre a wave of orcs. What sets this game apart from the others is that players will evolve through rogue-lite progression.
In a trailer released to announce the game, we see four different characters: an elf with a crossbow, an angry bear, a wand-wielding sorceress, and a woman with a gun.
According to Robot Entertainment, each of these characters will be tailored to different play styles and can operate independently or work together with complementing heroes, ensuring versatile and mighty orc-smashing.
The game will build on the already established weird and wacky comedy but add the unique twist that no two runs are exactly the same. Instead, the waves of orcs will be accompanied by randomized buffs and debuffs that will impact players, traps, weapons, stats, and even the levels themselves.
Orcs Must Die Deathtrap is set to release to Epic and Steam sometime in early 2025 – RIP poor Orcs, rest in peace…
