Seize your weapon, lead your army and charge forward toward the hearts of men. Of Orcs and Men is upon release tomorrow on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC and to celebrate, its impressive launch trailer is out now to see what’s in store within the game’s merciless world.
The trailer focuses on the origins of the story, its brutal world at war and the intense battles of Of Orcs and Men. The Empire of men have devastated and mistreated the Orcs for decades, and now they had enough. The Orcs send their mightiest warriors, the Bloodjaws on a death-defying mission deep into human territory. You control the Heroes Bloodjaw Arkaïl and his buddy Styx, where you’ll venture a journey with their races and perhaps some unexpected help along the way to take back your freedom.
Of Orcs and Men will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC retail on October 11th in Europe. The game will also be available for download on PC worldwide on October 11th and on the US PlayStation Network on October 16th.
Writer’s Opinion: I find myself intrigued to this game. I first heard of Of Orcs and Men in a gaming magazine for a game to watch in the future. Instead of playing as the traditional good-guy human fighting the traditional bad-guy Orc/Goblin it’s a role reversal.
What I’m particularly interested is how the developers conveyed the story of the Orcs/Goblins in a way where we emotionally connect with them. Cyanide Studios are pretty good when it comes to story telling so I’m pretty confident the game will deliver in that sense. Of Orcs and Men visually looks great, if the game play holds up then I think it’ll turn out well.
