News: Orcs Must Die! 3 officially launches on the PlayStation 5 taking advantage of the hardware’s features.

Robot Entertainment has announced that Orcs Must Die! 3 is launching today on PlayStation 5 with the base game and all released DLC (Cold As Eyes and Tipping The Scales). Previously, Orcs Must Die! 3 was only available on PlayStation 5 through backward compatibility. Now PlayStation 5 users can enjoy improved visuals, faster loading, cross-gen support, and more. Additionally, PlayStation 4 saved games are compatible with PlayStation 5 and those who previously purchased the game on PlayStation 4 can upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.

Orcs Must Die! 3 ushers orc-slaying mayhem to a previously unimaginable scale. Solo or with a friend by your side, arm yourself with a massive arsenal of traps and weapons. You will slice, burn, toss and zap hordes of repugnant orcs in this long-awaited successor to the award-winning series. New to the series, War Scenarios pit players against the largest orc armies ever assembled. Mountable War Machines give players the essential firepower to heave, stab, carbonize, and disarticulate the abominable intruders. Orcs Must Die! 3 was originally released as a Stadia exclusive in 2020 and this version of the release includes all-new content, features, and improvements as well as all previously released Stadia content including the Drastic Steps campaign.

Some of the key features for Orcs Must Die! 3 include:

More of Everything - Orcs Must Die! 3 is everything fans loved about the first two games and more. More orcs, more traps, more weapons, more upgrades, and even better looking. It’s cranked up to at least eleven.

New Story - Play through a brand new story set more than 20 years after Orcs Must Die! 2, where the War Mage and Sorceress have rebuilt the order and trained new young apprentices.

War Scenarios - All new War Scenarios deliver on the promise of massive scale first set out in Orcs Must Die! Confront overwhelming armies of orcs outside on battlefields surrounding castles. Thin out waves of orcs hundreds strong before they breach the walls and crash your rift.

War Machines - You’re going to need new weapons of death and destruction to handle these hordes. War Machines are traps on an oversized scale. Lay down your mega flip trap and launch dozens of rag-dolling orcs. Mount your mega boom barrel launcher and unleash pyrotechnic glory.

It Never Stops - The legions of orcs keep coming long after the story is completed. Etch your name into the orc-slaying hall of fame through Weekly Challenges or see how long you can survive in Endless Mode.

Take Drastic Steps - Orcs Must Die! 3 comes with the Drastic Steps campaign and content for free, including terrifying flying enemies, heroic war guardians, and of course more tools for orc destruction!

Scramble to Survive - The new Scramble Mode pits you against vile orcs who evolve with increasingly difficult and sinister tricks up their chunky sleeves. But each level you survive, you collect your own modifiers to fight back with!
