The news the EU community has been looking forward to is now here. EU community manager SiS has announced that the phase 2 patch for Orcs Must Die! Unchained will be launching tomorrow!

There has been alot of discussion about the delay in getting this patch out for the EU community, it was originally anticipated to come out sooner. However, we must bear in mind that there is such a huuuuge number of changes in this patch. It is a major release with substantial changes that Gameforge have needed to integrate onto their own systems. Including a completely re-worked game economy model. Please remember the almighty patch notes, Gameforge have been working very hard to integrate these as fast as possible.

Waiting sucks. However we can assure you that phase 2 is definitely worth the wait, and I’m sure future patches will come out even faster now that we are passed this larger hurdle.

Friends List & Wipe

One important thing to know is that there WILL be an account wipe for all EU players once Phase 2 lands. This means everything will be reset including your skulls. Any coin or skins that you have purchased or unlocked by means of promotions will remain on your account, however. It is also worth noting that your friends list will be wiped too, so be sure to note down the names of all your friends so that you can add them back again.

Enjoy phase 2 tomorrow and see you in-game!

With Phase 2 now in full swing on the North American servers we thought it fitting to bring back #FanFriday interviews!

Did you catch this weeks Insider Access on Twitch? If not, be sure to catch up on VOD below. This week Robot community manager Justin “SixOkay” Korthof sat down with Sandy Petersen, the man with the plan to being Orcs Must Die! Unchained to tabletops!

The on-going Kickstarter campaign has raised over $100,000, far exceeding the original $40,000 goal. We are now steaming through the stretch goals for even more content for Kickstarter backers.

On Insider Access, Sandy talks us through details about how the game works, the figures and some background of the project and Sandy himself.

Remember by backing the campaign on Kickstarter you will be able to get the stretch goals at no extra cost! Visit the Kickstarter page to make your pledge.

If you have access to the Orcs Must Die! Unchained closed beta in the US, be sure to get in some games this Easter holiday. Robot Entertainment have increased the chances of you getting an “Oaken Chest” at the end of match.  Chests carry rewards such as cards or skulls. This a great way of expanding your card collection!

The promotion is running 10am CT on Friday and running through 7pm CT on Monday. See you in-game!

As first revealed at PAX, Robot Entertainment have been working with Sandy at Petersen Games to bring Orcs Must Die! to table tops. Sandy has close ties to the studio having previously worked at Ensemble Studios.

We were told the game would soon be making it to Kickstarter for crowd funding. Just under 24 hours ago the project launched on Kickstarter. I am very pleased to advise that overnight the project has already met its funding target! This is an outstanding achievement and is a testament to Orcs Must Die! as a franchise and the talented minds at Petersen Games.

Be sure to check out the Kickstarter and pledge your support for the stretch goals and secure your copy of either the Order or Unchained board games, or both! Details of the stretch goals to go can be found below. I’m confident we will be able to see these come to light.

The Kickstarter page has all the details about the board game.
