Orcs Must Die! 2 - Announcement Trailer

Orcs Must Die! 2 thrusts players and their friends back into battle against a terrifying mob of orcs and other monsters. With a redesigned spellbook, players will have a broader range of options to build a deadly arsenal of defenses. Investing hard-earned skulls in an enormous new upgrade system will allow players to cater to their favorite methods of burning, grinding, tossing, or dismembering orcs.

"In 2011, we implored players to kill the orcs. As many as possible. Yet, only 3.4 billion orcs have been slaughtered to date. The only way we will get to a respectable orc death toll is by adding another killing machine and cooperative play. Bring a friend and destroy the orcs!"

Orcs Must Die! 2 begins days after the ending of the original game. With the rifts closed and the magical Order dead, the War Mage finds himself suddenly thrust into a new battle against the mindless orc mob. He has a powerful, if questionable, new companion in the Sorceress, an ex-War Mage responsible for the destruction of the Order.

Orcs Must Die! 2 Features:

• New Campaign -- Orcs Must Die! 2 features a full campaign that you can play in single-player or with a friend in co-op. Choose to play the campaign as the War Mage, a headstrong hero who charges into danger, or play as the more nuanced Sorceress, a new hero who keeps enemies at bay with mind-control and magic.

• More Enemies -- An army of vile new creatures is set to pour through the rifts, and they've brought all of your favorite trap-fodder from the original Orcs Must Die! along with them!

• More Defenses -- Orcs Must Die! 2 has an enormous armory of new and classic defenses, including an all new assortment of magical trinkets. Use your new spellbook to buy defenses and upgrades the way you choose to, building up your arsenal based on how you play the game.

• New Upgrade System -- The skull system has been completely redesigned. You will always earn skulls for replaying levels, and the skulls can be spent on multiple persistent upgrades for each of your defenses.
Players wishing to add to the current 3.4 billion dead orc count can download the original Orcs Must Die! on Steam and other PC Platforms. As a special bonus, players who own the original Orcs Must Die! on PC will unlock exclusive content in the sequel.

I can die a little happier now knowing a great game like OMD will be having a sequel.

[R_Yeah]

will the war mage and the sorceress have different traps from each other, or just primary weapons?

[MrNogunsnoglory]

I'll miss the semi automatic, over-powered magical crossbow.

[TheBlackarro]

Will do you a pre-order bonus content deal, as was with Orcs Must Die?

[NekoSOM]

I'd just like to note, Sips is the reason I purchased this marvelous game. So thank you for realizing what an asset he is ;)

[Rebornneo]

Sips, I'm making (ab)use of this situation to tell you that you've made so many of my days so much fun :) You're awesome.
I wanted to thank you personally, so... I hope I run into you in real life one day so I can do that :P

[MissleMan]

:D Will there be any preorder bonuses, i need this game!! :3

[Gonah]

Will Co-op be able to be played on the same screen (same computer) or is it online only?

[Dukat]

PC Exclusive means Windows only, or there will be Mac and/or Linux versions?

[Runeclaw]

OMG, this is wonderful! I loved the first one with it's graphic style and cool levels and traps.

With co-op, this game will sell a lot, that's for sure.

[necroid]

You Sirs, are geniuses! Thanks so much for bringing us this awesome Game back! Now add a level editor mode and I might persume you were able to read my mind! ;)

[KalebGaal]

ohh thx, where did you got this information?

[MarmaladePancakes]

Hey Sips are you gonna do a Co-op playthrough with Sjin?

[TinyZu]

Aw man, the soundtrack is as good as ever. Gotta love that medieval rock.

[MrDelferi]

You know why there aren't any pictures of Sips, nor he somehow never can get to public events? HE is in fact one of Simons funny voices! DUN DUN DUUUH!!!!

[Goldenheimer]

I see, but I would love a answer to my second question, do you have an estimated release date yet ?

[raadic]

Orcs Must Die 3 should be like those Warcraft 3 custom maps called "Mauls", only you also have your "hero" to defend with as well ! ;D

"Orcs Must Die 3: Invasion"

[AKABoondock]

Orcs must die is one of the most underrated games ever! GIVE US MULTIPLAYER!

[Goldenheimer]

Omg, I really loved the original I just missed co-op, but I don't see how this couldn't been added as DLC ? And I also wonder if you got an estimated release date ?

[mrwho]

On second glance it is obvious that there are fortress levels too. Awesome!
