Release Dates for Orcs Must Die! Announced
Robot Entertainment announced today the upcoming release dates for Orcs Must Die! on Xbox LIVE Arcade and Steam (and other PC distribution platforms). Xbox players can massacre orcs by the thousands on October 5, 2011, and PC gamers on Steam can begin their murderous defense of rift fortresses on October 12, 2011.
“The slaying hour is nigh upon us,” said Patrick Hudson, CEO of Robot Entertainment. “We can no longer restrain the enemy at the gate. We will soon turn the rift defense over to Xbox and PC gamers to beat back the mob and save the Order!”
Orcs Must Die! is an action-strategy game that challenges players to defend fortresses under siege. With a wide variety of traps and weapons to choose from, Orcs Must Die! dares players to find the best ways to hack, launch, flatten, gibletize, and incinerate an endless army of filthy orcs and their vile allies. Orcs Must Die! features a vibrant look, addictive gameplay, and a blatant disregard for the welfare of orcs. If you need a refresher on what exactly Orcs Must Die! is, here’s the announcement trailer.
Play as the War Mage and defend 24 fortresses from an enraged mob of orcs and 11 other villainous monsters.
Choose from a selection of 6 weapons and magic spells and 17 traps that hack, launch, flatten, gibletize, and incinerate your enemies.
Upgrade your traps, spells and weapons to cater the game to your personal play style.
Cleverly combine traps and spells for higher scores on the leaderboards.
Expertly wield your wits and your weapons through the story-driven campaign and unlock a brutal “Nightmare” campaign.
Replay fortresses endlessly, combining different defenses and tactics every time!
Orcs Must Die! will be available exclusively as a digital download from the Xbox LIVE Arcade on October 5, 2011, and from Steam on October 12, 2011.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
