Robot Entertainment just launched a significant update for Orcs Must Die! Unchained that includes some massive gameplay changes and a brand new hero. In conjunction with the update, Orcs Must Die! Unchained will be playable this weekend at PAX Prime in Seattle.
The closed beta of Orcs Must Die! Unchained has undergone some major gameplay changes designed to make it easier to learn and more engaging to play. These include changes to the way War Camps run and leadership is generated, adding a new "Pillage" mechanic to find enemy items on the map for rewards, the addition of a Fog of War, changing gates to become new repairable barriers, and much more.
A new hero, Oziel, The Soul Thief has been added. Oziel's power is dependent on Soul Harvest, which increases his mana when any minion or hero dies near him. Below is a video that showcases Oziel and his abilitie.

Orcs Must Die! Unchained is a wisecracking third-person multiplayer action game. Players control powerful heroes, summon deadly minions and place devious traps to attack and defend in a wild battle for fortress supremacy. For the first time in Orcs Must Die!, teams of players are responsible for both sides of the battle-building traps to stop the enemy assault AND summoning their own armies to lead against the enemy defense. Through this innovation, which combines Tower Defense and Multiplayer Online Battle Arena gameplay elements, Robot Entertainment created a new kind of game experience.
