Orcs Must Die! 2 announced - WITH CO-OP

[Edeslash]

The prayers have been answered.

New enemies, new traps and other defenses, a new wider upgrade system and the one thing OMD! fans have been begging for - CO-OP! Release is planned for this summer and the game will be playable @ PAX East.

Oh, and if you haven't played Orcs Must Die yet, buy it now. During the next sale at the latest.

 

[morgs]

Awesome! I'll most likely buy this.

 

[Vegeta897]

By next summer do you mean this summer?

 

[Remus]

**** yeah!

 

[Edeslash]

By next summer do you mean this summer?

Yep, fixed. Thanks, in Finnish it works a bit differently. : )

 

[Bad^Hat]

Neat, but does anyone find it a bit weird when modern sequels tout "new levels" as a feature? :v

I should probably finish the first one, too...

 

[Bob_Marley]

Looks pretty neat. I enjoyed the first one, I'll probably pick it up.

"The war mage is your tank style character"

*Looks at subtitle*
Why yes, I am.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Need to finish the first. Started kicking my ass later on.

 

[Simen]

should probably try the first game. I bought it a while back

 

[Edeslash]

Pre-purchase available from Steam now. Clever timing. 14,99€ normally, currently -10% off. Two-pack available for 24,99€, also -10%. Owning Orcs Must Die! gives you 10 co-op levels which are apparently levels from the original OMD.

Release date is July 30, my birthday! I'll probably be pre-ordering this unless some kind soul decides to give me a great birthday present. Any other Halftime2.netters planning to buy it? I'd love to have a co-op partner or a few.

 

[Vegeta897]

2-pack pre-ordered for me and my bro!

 

[Edeslash]

What are the US prices, by the way? Should I be getting a 2-pack with a US bro?

 

[Vegeta897]

$22.49 for the 2-pack.

So it seems like a lot cheaper for Americans. That's like another 19% off converting to USD.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Pretty much bought it the instant I saw it had co op for my girlfriend and I.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Ahhhh this looks good.

 

[Stigmata]

Neat, but does anyone find it a bit weird when modern sequels tout "new levels" as a feature? :v

Since COD started rehashing all the good maps from earlier in the series :v

I need to finish the first. The second is looking mighty fun.
