Evaluation
Orcs Must Die! 3 launched on July 23, 2021 and received two paid DLC expansions: Cold as Eyes on November 11, 2021, and Tipping the Scales on April 7, 2022. These represent the full post-launch paid content slate — all three DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released, and no unreleased DLC exists.
After Tipping the Scales, Robot Entertainment continued issuing balance and bug-fix patches through mid-2024 (the most recent being the May 2, 2024 crossplay patch), but no further major content was announced or released for OMD3 itself.
On July 17, 2024, Robot Entertainment explicitly announced their next game: Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, a new entry in the franchise targeting an early 2025 launch. The announcement post describes OMD3 in the past tense as a completed chapter that "inspired us to push on," and all subsequent developer communications focus exclusively on Deathtrap. This makes clear that Robot Entertainment has moved on from OMD3 as an active content development project.
With all DLC shipped, no unreleased content listed on the store, no announced future content for OMD3, and the studio's full attention shifted to a successor title, the game's content development concluded with the Tipping the Scales DLC on April 7, 2022.
Evidence
Robot Entertainment announced Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap as the next franchise entry, describing OMD3 as a completed chapter that 'inspired us to push on.' All future development focus is on the new game.
Tipping the Scales DLC released — the second and final paid expansion for OMD3, adding new enemies, maps, weapons, and traps.

About this game
Orcs Must Die! 3 ushers orc-slaying mayhem to a previously unimaginable scale. Solo, or 2 player co-op, arm yourself with a massive arsenal of traps and weapons. Slice, burn, toss and zap hordes of repugnant orcs in this long-awaited successor to the award-winning series.
New to the series, War Scenarios pit players against the largest orc armies ever assembled. Mountable War Machines give players the essential firepower to heave, stab, carbonize, and disarticulate the abominable intruders.
More of Everything - Orcs Must Die! 3 is everything fans loved about the first two games and more. More orcs, more traps, more weapons, more upgrades and even better looking. It’s cranked up to at least eleven.
New Story - Play through a brand new story set more than 20 years after Orcs Must Die! 2, where the War Mage and Sorceress have rebuilt the order and trained new young apprentices.
War Scenarios - All new War Scenarios deliver on the promise of massive scale first set out in Orcs Must Die! Confront overwhelming armies of orcs outside on the battlefields surrounding the castles. Thin out waves of orcs hundreds strong before they breach the walls and crash your rift.
War Machines - You’re going to need new weapons of death and destruction to handle these hordes. War Machines are traps on an oversized scale. Lay down your mega flip trap and launch dozens of ragdolling orcs. Mount your mega boom barrel launcher and unleash pyrotechnic glory.
It Never Stops - The legions of orcs keep coming long after the story is completed. Etch your name into the orc-slaying hall of fame through Weekly Challenges or see how long you can survive in Endless Mode.
Take Drastic Steps - Orcs Must Die! 3 comes with the Drastic Steps campaign and content for free, including terrifying flying enemies, heroic war guardians and of course more tools for orc destruction!
Scramble to Survive - The new Scramble Mode pits you against vile orcs who evolve with increasingly difficult and sinister tricks up their chunky sleeves. But each level you survive, you collect your own modifiers to fight back with!
