Orcs Must Die Unchained is currently in closed beta, which means that it’s getting some fairly regular and sizeable updates as a result. The latest one will introduce many new things, including a new playable character.

Known as Tundra the Polar Bear, he has the ability to ignore crowd control effects and can deal damage through ranged and melee attacks. He’s also wearing a lot more fur than just his natural white.

There will also be around 20 new trap cards added as part of the update and a few new items. On the side of the minions coming at you, there’s been the addition of captains – stronger than normal minions who spawn towards the higher wave levels and take more attacking to bring down. The game’s also getting Twitch integration so that you can broadcast your matches out to be viewed by the public eye if you so wish.

The beta can be accessed by paying to become a follower, but since the game is going to be free-to-play upon release it’s up to you if the thought of the game attracts you enough to want the early access.
