ORCS MUST DIE! DEATHTRAP NOW AVAILABLE ON PLAYSTATION® 5

Some of you may remember my review of Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap Xbox Review, and have been waiting for the PlayStation 5 release. That time is now, enjoy the trailer below and all the info you need.

Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Robot Entertainment, the independent development and publishing studio behind the beloved Orcs Must Die! series, today announced that Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is now available on PlayStation® 5. An update to the game entitled “State of Slay” is also being released today and includes a new map, two new traps, and two hero model updates.

The game originally released on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X/S on January 28, 2025. PlayStation® players now receive the most up-to-date version which includes content and quality of life updates made post launch, such as new levels, enemies, traps, threads, skins, and the return of fan favorite War Mages Max and Gabby.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is the fifth game in the critically acclaimed Orcs Must Die! franchise. This latest chapter of orc slaying mayhem features much deeper progression systems, as players grow their War Mages to become stronger every battle and enjoy endless replayability as they face off against hordes of relentless orcs either solo or with up to four players in thrilling co-op gameplay. Players are challenged to set traps, upgrade their defenses, and use their hero’s unique weapons and abilities to prevent orcs from entering the rift, a gateway and powerful source of magic.

Monster Mop Up Release date announcement-August 14th

Hired by the Ministry of Monster Concealment, Custodians must explore, clean and dispose of all waste and secure the mischievous Ragamuffins who have, literally, left their mark. Sounds simple, but when disturbed, these adorable yet troublesome creatures unleash a wave of mess and mayhem, or poop, challenging up to six players to work together to contain the chaos. Armed with a bucket, mop, and trap, players can also use the environment to aid their efforts. Take advantage of secret interactions, such as magic orbs that obliterate the mess, and unlock upgrades through progression to clean, burn, and flush everything in sight, countering the antics of the goofy furballs.

“We fell in love with Monster Mop Up the moment we saw it, and what’s not to love about a Ragamuffin that poops everywhere,” said Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games. “Terahard Studios has created the perfect blend of a real-world cleaning sim and supernatural ghostbusting escapades where every clean-up is different, giving hours of endless fun whether playing alone or with friends.”

Players progress by unlocking new rooms through a variety of levels and challenges ranging from family homes to restaurants, mansions, and hotels. Once the cleaning rating is achieved, rewards are issued, which can be used to upgrade equipment or decorate the player’s home with charming accessories. Show off progression by visiting the Bazaar of Human Stuff, putting design skills to the test to create the perfect pad for the Ragamuffins who join as roommates once collected, or splashing out on valuable upgrades like rubber shoes, bucket grips, and soft hands to prevent another Ragamuffin mishap. Monster Mop Up delivers players an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as each corner gleams and every surface shines.

A playable demo is now available on Steam and can be wishlisted HERE.

Ozzy Osbourne Death

As many of you may have already known, Ozzy was diagnosed with parkinsons disease and in recent years has suffered from numerous other health issues. In his life, he was known by many names: the Prince of Darkness, the Godfather of Heavy Metal. Most importantly to his family he was known as Dad and a loving husband.

He has touched many of our lives in many ways with his music, his TV show, and even just his interviews. Sadly, at the age of 76, he has passed away, leaving a hole in the hearts of his family and millions of fans. So I leave you with one of my favorite songs of his that got me through some hard times as a teenager. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring Ozzy and his family peace.

JET OFF ON A ‘STARSAND ISLAND’ ADVENTURE, YOUR WAY!

Chinese developer, Seed Lab, is today exploring the great outdoors of its upcoming life sim, Starsand Island, and has hinted at some of the game’s adventures and scenic journeys to be had when it launches on PC and consoles in late 2025.

Players will be able to skate, ride, drive, and fly a range of vehicles, including skateboards, rollerblades, cars, scooters with (and without) sidecars, and even a paraglider, across the island’s lush pastures, green- and amber-hued woodlands, glistening sandy beaches, and the surrounding azure seas. Amphibious craft will also be available, enabling seamless land and water traversal, further expanding players’ horizons.

Exploring the island won’t have to be done solo: a number of vehicles have passenger seats, allowing NPC pals and pets – and even real-life friends via the Starsand Island’s multiplayer gameplay – to go along for the ride, while the game’s photo mode will allow players to capture memories and moments from every part of their adventure.

Showcasing the game at this year’s BitSummit expo in Japan, Seed Lab is also unveiling more details on both the character and vehicle customization available in Starsand Island. The game’s vehicle modification system lets players fully customize their rides; for example, cars can be painted with new colors, and detailed with a range of decals, wheel rims, and interiors.

Starsand Island also features extensive customization for the player’s character, including the ability to finely tune them with a range of facial features, skin tones, makeup, and hairstyles, while choosing from a vast wardrobe of outfits and accessories to complete a fresh, edgy vibe ready for island life. Further customisable options will be expanded post-launch, along with additional social and collaborative gameplay, while more information on Starsand Island’s multiplayer functionality will be released in the coming months.
