Robot Entertainment has confirmed a brand new downloadable content pack for Orcs Must Die 2, in the form of the Family Ties one, which brings a new enemy, new levels, as well as new weapons and trinkets.

Orcs Must Die 2 came out this summer and quickly impressed lots of PC gamers with its top notch action tower defense gameplay that tasked them with killing as many orcs as possible.

After unleashing the first DLC for the game, in the form of the Fire and Water Pack, developer Robot Entertainment has now announced a new add-on called Family Ties.

The DLC, which is out later today, September 26, on the PC via Steam, includes an impressive new enemy, in the form of a giant female orc that wields an equally massive mace.

Players will have to take her down on a variety of new levels and, in order to make dealing with her and her band of Hobgoblin Healers a bit easier, they can use new weapons and trinkets.

Check out the main features of the new Family Ties DLC for Orcs Must Die 2 below.

Three Exciting New Levels – The entire orc family is coming to visit in three completely new levels! Jump into single-player or co-op to defend Triple Threat, Breakneck Triad, and Rush Hour.
