Orcs Must Die Unchained To Enter Open Beta Later This Month
Robot Entertainment announced that their upcoming action-tower defense game Orcs Must Die Unchained will move into open beta on PC starting March 29. Players can access the beta by downloading the game from Steam or the Orcs Must Die website and registering for a free account.
An open beta has been in the works for some time with no official date attached. After a successful closed beta stress test last weekend, developer Robot Entertainment is now ready to open the game up to the public.
First revealed at PAX East 2014, Orcs Must Die Unchained is the third installment in the action tower defense series. The title marks a series shift with competitive gameplay, which you can read about in greater detail in our preview here.
Orcs Must Die Unchained is scheduled to come to PC and PlayStation 4 this year. To read our review of the first Orcs Must Die, click here.
Our Take
Orcs Must Die Unchained's deckbuilding elements and clever trap system make it feel like more than just another MOBA. News on the PS4 version has been suspiciously absent lately, so hopefully we'll hear more about that release soon.
