When Orcs Must Die! 3 released on Xbox a few years back, we found it to be a little gem. The hype is real then as Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is revealed.
Set to release on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and Epic) in early 2025, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is the next instalment in the Orcs Must Die! saga. It comes from Robot Entertainment to allow players the opportunity to fight back once more, whether that be alone or with friends in some action-packed third-person styled gameplay.
A Deathtrap awaits
In Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap you’ll get the chance to play as a new War Mage, making the most of various skills and abilities, as well as some roguelite progression, all with hope of putting down hordes of the most relentless orcs.
It’s here where Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap will let you choose from six different War Mages, each with a unique playstyle and personality, as well as numerous traps and abilities. Making the most of thier synergy will be key to success.
You’ll need to come together as one too as in Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap you’ll be thrust into wave upon wave of enemy, each with randomised buffs and debuffs. With environmental factors playing a part, whether that be through the weather or time of day, this is one that should bring some serious thrills. Powering up your hero, their weapons and utilising traps will be required, all before you tackle an Orc General.
