Robot Entertainment has confirmed that Orcs Must Die 2 owners can now use a special editor to create new mods and content for the game, which can then be shared via the Steam Workshop. What's more, support for Steam Trading Cards is also coming soon.

Orcs Must Die 2 impressed many fans of the original a year ago, when it was released for the PC platform.

Since then, developer Robot Entertainment has released plenty of new DLC, which brought fresh levels, new monsters, and powerful weapons or traps.

Now, the studio has revealed a fresh update that brings a special editor to the game, allowing players to create new traps, trinkets, weapons, or costumes, not to mention new challenges in existing levels.

Check out all the different features below, via an official statement.

- Craft New Traps, Trinkets, and Weapons – Using existing Spellbook items, War Mages can construct a dizzying array of new traps to take into battle. Combine existing 3D models with new textures, new stats, new upgrade designs, and new visual effects to craft and share your best orc-maiming ideas.

- New Onslaughts – Modify the creatures and timing for waves in existing Orcs Must Die! 2 fortresses and caves to create new and challenging experiences. Did you already beat the game on Nightmare? Now you can create your own ultra-Nightmare Mode to put your skills to the test. Share your custom onslaught levels and campaigns with the community on Workshop.

- New Costumes – Replace the textures on any of the sixteen War Mage and Sorceress costumes in Orcs Must Die! 2. Create a huge closet of intimidating new costumes to strike fear into the hearts of orcs!

What's more, Orcs Must Die 2 will also receive support for Steam Trading Cards in the near future, so owners can look forward to crafting collections and earning badges, emoticons, or profile backgrounds.
