Developer Robot Entertainment has announced that Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, the roguelite action-tower defence title, is finally coming to PS5 this July after initially launching on Xbox Series X/S and PC earlier this year. A few months after its arrival on PlayStation, a physical version of the game will be released in September for consoles which contains a handful of goodies for fans.
Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is heading to PS5 on 26 July following its initial digital launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC on 28 January this year. A physical version distributed by Skybound Games will release on 23 September for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (the game is currently only available digitally).
The physical version of Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap will contain the base game, mini art book, the digital soundtrack and redemption codes for the “Supporter Pack” DLC.
The description of the game reads:
“In this thrilling new chapter of the critically acclaimed Orcs Must Die! franchise, players can fight solo or with up to four players in action-packed third-person gameplay. As brand-new War Mages, players will evolve through roguelite progression, enhancing their unique abilities to eviscerate, incinerate and obliterate massive hordes of relentless orcs.”
- Fantastically Powerful Heroes – Find your role among new War Mages, each with unique weapons, abilities, traps, and personality. Each hero is tailored to different play styles and can operate independently or work together with complementing heroes, ensuring versatile and mighty orc-smashing.
- Slay More, Alone or Together – Enjoy the game solo or in cooperative teams of up to four players—each option provides unique challenges and rewards. The game is designed to adjust to the number of players, ensuring a balanced and exciting contest in any combination.
- No Two Runs are the Same – Face intensifying waves of orcs and other hideous beasts with randomized buffs and debuffs that impact your hero, traps, weapons, stats, and the levels themselves. Environmental factors like weather and time of day further influence enemies and your defensive options. As these buffs and debuffs stack, choose to push forward against the growing hordes or return to your castle hub to power up your hero, weapons, and traps before facing a formidable Orc General in a brutal boss fight.
- Epic Combat – Experience enhanced combat where the combination of heroic prowess and ingenious traps leads to unparalleled orc destruction. Engage in tight, responsive third-person shooter and melee combat. Enjoy crazy physics-based interactions and ridiculous ragdoll effects. Watch with joy as your traps hurl, crush, slice, and incinerate orcs in spectacular fashion.
- Classic Orcs Must Die! Vibe – Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap stays true to the beloved humor, personality, and charm of the series. From witty orc chatter to over-the-top physics sending screaming orcs flying, and a strong guitar- and drum-heavy soundtrack, every moment is crafted to keep your adrenaline pumping.
Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap releases on 26 July 2025 for PS5.
