Orcs Must Die! 3 - August 2021 Patch Notes

Today we've deployed a Steam update for Orcs Must Die 3 in order to address some early bugs and balance issues. We've gotten a lot of excellent feedback from Warmages in the community since the game's PC & console launch last month, and several fixes/changes are being made as a direct result of talking with players on social media, Steam forums, Reddit, and Discord. We hope this will address many of the concerns out there, but we realize there are some things yet to be addressed. We appreciate your patience as we continue working to make OMD3 the best orc-slaughtering game in the series.
