Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap Physical Console Editions Coming This September

Robot Entertainment, the independent development and publishing studio behind the beloved Orcs Must Die! series, has announced that in partnership with Skybound Games, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap will be available physically for PS5 on the 23rd of September 2025 with pre-orders now available.



 

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is the fifth game in the critically acclaimed Orcs Must Die! franchise. This latest chapter of orc slaying mayhem features much deeper progression systems, as players grow their War Mages to become stronger every battle and enjoy endless replayability as they face off against hordes of relentless orcs either solo or with up to four players in thrilling co-op gameplay. Players are challenged to set traps, upgrade their defences, and use their hero’s unique weapons and abilities to prevent orcs from entering the rift, a gateway and powerful source of magic.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is now available to pre-order. The physical edition will include:

  • Game Disc: A PS5 game disc, including the latest content and quality-of-life updates from Robot Entertainment to date.
  • Art Booklet: A meticulously crafted booklet exploring the creation of the game, featuring early concepts, sketches and behind-the-scenes insights.
  • Supporter Pack DLC: Redemption code for DLC that includes 7 stunning hero and weapon skins, allowing players to give War Mages a bold new look.
  • Original Soundtrack: Feel the pulse of battle through blazing guitar riffs and pounding drums with a redemption code to the game’s soundtrack, composed by Phill Boucher.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap Features:

  • Slay More, Alone or Together  Enjoy the game solo or in co-op 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 humour, 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.
