In Orcs Must Die! 3, players must defend their rift using a variety of weapons and traps against hundreds of orcs.

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. 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 originally released as a Stadia exclusive in 2020, and this version of the release includes new content, features, and improvements as well as all previously released Stadia content, including the Drastic Steps campaign.

The award-winning Orcs Must Die! series is back and better than ever with Orcs Must Die! 3, featuring all new War Scenarios and War Machines which add massive scale to battlefields that deliver on an epic orc-slaying power fantasy. Either solo or via online co-op with a friend, players must defend their rift using a variety of weapons and traps against hundreds of orcs simultaneously. Players can also test their resolve with the new and ever-evolving Scramble Mode that pits players against orcs in a series of five escalating challenges where both sides receive random modifiers after each battle. Plenty of new and returning fan favorite heroes, weapons and traps await players seeking to unleash orc-devastating mayhem.

In the new Tipping the Scales DLC, Orcs Must Die! 3 players will battle it out against the brand new Tuatara Race, composed of four cold-blooded enemy types to challenge players cunning and abilities. Set in a new desert biome, players will come equipped with a new Hand Gatling Weapon, Briar Patch Trap and a Reptilian Carapace Trinket. All players returning to the game will have access to two new Endless Mode maps (Split Stairs and Secret Fortress), new Scramble Mode buffs and debuffs, and a host of fixes and improvements.

The Tipping the Scales DLC also includes five new scenarios including a War Scenario- Untrained Grounds (inspired by Orcs Must Die! Unchained Training Grounds map), Sandstorm Shelter, Oasis Outpost, Sand Sea Castle,  and Desert Wall (War Scenario). Lastly, four Endless Maps, two new skins - Cygnus Sand Skin and Vorwick Sand Skin and six new Achievements will be included in this new DLC.

Tipping the Scales DLC for Orcs Must Die! 3 is launching on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PC (Steam) on April 7, 2021.

Key Features:

  • 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 the battlefields surrounding the castles. Thin out waves of orcs hundreds strong before they breach the walls and crash your rift.
