Robot Entertainment today announced they’ll be adding millions of carcasses to the orc pile with ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED™, a raucous new multiplayer game in the award-winning Orcs Must Die! franchise. ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED is a fast-paced Fortress Siege action game in which teams of heroes battle head-to-head to attack and defend ancient strongholds.
For the first time in Orcs Must Die!, teams of players are responsible for both sides of the battle — building traps to stop the enemy assault AND summoning their own armies to lead against the enemy defense. At launch in late 2014, the game will be available for free digital download on PC.
“We’re incredibly excited to greatly expand the universe and style of gameplay in Orcs Must Die!,” said Robot Entertainment CEO Patrick Hudson. “After the first game, fans told us they wanted cooperative gameplay, and we were thrilled to deliver it in Orcs Must Die! 2.
After the sequel, we heard the cry for competitive gameplay. ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED is an answer to that and much more. It’s a realization of Robot’s ambition for what the franchise could ultimately become. It’s bigger, deeper and meatier. We hope fans enjoy playing it as much as we have enjoyed testing it.”
Fans eager to get into the throes of battle can sign up for access to the Alpha via the Founder’s Packs. Founders will help Robot Entertainment shape the game via direct communication with the development team. Fans can purchase one of three Founder’s Packs at OrcsMustDie.com.
The “Master” level grants immediate access to the Alpha that launches today. In exchange for their unwavering dedication to the slaughter, Founders will receive exclusive in-game content to kick off their starter deck, in-game gold, and a special badge in the game and forums to proudly proclaim their exclusive Founder status.
ORCS MUST DIE! UNCHAINED is set in the familiar world of its humorous fantasy predecessors, years after the finale of Orcs Must Die! 2. With the discovery of dozens of new rifts and magical worlds beyond them, heroes have come from far and wide to wage all-out war for control of these valuable gateways.
In the years since Orcs Must Die! 2, the War Mage and Sorceress have rebuilt the once-mighty Order. Their new enemy, the Unchained, is not the mindless horde defeated twice before, but instead an organized army led by powerful heroes.
