Orcs Must Die! 2 is heading to Steam on 30 July 2012.

Owners of the original game on Steam will unlock 10 free co-op levels in the sequel in a special Classic Mode.

Players who haven’t yet downloaded Orcs Must Die! have an enticing opportunity to do so now as it is currently on special for 50% off on Steam – Orcs Must Die! on Steam.

Orcs Must Die! 2 is an action-strategy game that challenges players and their friends to team up and defend a world constantly under siege.

Orcs Must Die! 2 begins just days after the ending of the original game. With the rifts closed and the magical Order dead, the War Mage finds himself suddenly thrust into a new battle against the mindless orc mob. He has a powerful, if questionable, new companion in the Sorceress, an ex-War Mage responsible for the destruction of the Order.
