Robot Entertainment’s game will be available for purchase as a disc release on Sony’s console.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap was released on January 28 for the Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. A physical release will follow, distributed by Skybound Games. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions are set to arrive on September 23, including the base game, a mini art book, a code for the Supporter Pack DLC, and the digital soundtrack.

Players can fight alone or team up with up to three others in thrilling, third-person action. Stepping into the role of brand-new War Mages, players will grow through roguelite progression, honing their unique skills to eviscerate, burn, and demolish the unrelenting orc hordes. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap offers adaptive difficulty based on player count, letting you pick from six War Mages—each with a distinct playstyle, personality, traps, and abilities. Discovering synergies, optimizing equipment, and tailoring your approach are key to successful orc-slaying.

Random Buffs and Debuffs, Environmental Influences

Each intensifying enemy wave is strengthened by randomized buffs and debuffs. Leveraging the environment, while considering weather and time of day, is crucial to fending off the growing hordes. As these buffs and debuffs stack, players can decide to press on or return to their castle hub to recharge heroes, weapons, and traps before confronting a formidable Orc General in a brutal boss battle.

Find your place among the new War Mages, each bringing unique weapons, abilities, traps, and personalities to the table. Every hero suits a different play style and can work solo or collaborate with others to ensure powerful and varied orc-crushing. Enjoy the game alone or in cooperative teams of up to four players—each option presents unique challenges and rewards. The game adapts to the number of players, ensuring a balanced and exciting experience regardless of the chosen mix.

Humor, Visuals, and Soundtrack

Face ever-escalating waves of orcs and other monstrous beasts, whose randomized buffs and debuffs will impact your hero, traps, weapons, stats, and even the levels themselves. Environmental elements such as weather and time of day will further shape your enemies and defenses. As these buffs and debuffs build up, choose whether to keep advancing or head back to the castle to refresh your supplies and traps before squaring off against a fearsome Orc General in a fierce showdown.

Experience an evolved combat system where heroic skill and ingenious traps combine for unparalleled orc-slaying mayhem. Dive into intense, responsive third-person shooting and melee combat. Enjoy the chaos of physics-based interactions and hilarious ragdoll antics. Watch your traps toss, crush, slice, and burn orcs in spectacular fashion. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap remains true to the series’ signature humor, personality, and charm. From witty orc banter and the exaggerated physics that send screaming orcs flying to the driving soundtrack full of heavy guitars and pounding drums, every moment is designed to keep your adrenaline pumping.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap will launch for PlayStation 5 on July 29, with a physical edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series releasing on September 23.
