What's Next? Post-Release Plans Revealed
Hi War Mages!
We’ve finally arrived at release day for Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, but the work doesn’t stop here! We have lots of plans for future updates including more War Mages, additional maps, new features, fresh modes, etc. We’ll keep you posted as these details emerge. For now, we’d like to share some of the current thinking.
In the Works and Coming “Soon”
Our immediate plans include a bevy of content that we will release as soon as possible. The below list will be free content to all players.
New War Mage: Master Gabriella
Series staple and now Master of the Order Gabriella will be a playable War Mage. She’s in development with an exciting kit of tricks including the reintroduction of Arcane magic.
New Map: Resort Canal
Resort Canal is set in the game’s Coastal Biome and will feature two rifts you'll need to defend at the same time. Despite the relaxing setting, pulling this off is no vacation.
Unstable Orc
A victim of Rift magic experimentation, the Unstable Orc is a large, grotesque and distorted orc. He's slow moving and absorbs a lot of damage. This beast explodes on death dealing damage to both War Mages and disables traps in a large area.
The Alchemist
An Alchemy Lab will be introduced to the Order Fortress offering you buffs for mission runs. See what the Alchemist has cooked up and spend your precious skulls. Also, what happened to this guy? Oof, creepy.
New Sentinel: Gnome Balloonist
A newly designed Sentinel created to add more ceiling space for traps. This Order Gnome can randomly spawn in predetermined spots on every map and provide a 2x4 trap space floating two trap spaces high. Swinging Mace redeemed.
The Road Ahead
Longer term, we plan to continue supporting the game for as long as possible. We have ideas for a wide variety of content and features. Plus, we’ll be watching and listening to the community closely to learn how you all would like to see the game grow and improve. If you haven’t already, please join us on Discord!
Future updates include new maps (some in new Biomes), additional War Mages, more deadly TRAPS, new devious enemies, game modes, and plenty of additions to Distortions, Threads, and Blessings.
Thanks for your support! We’ll be listening closely after release.
