The Overlord and his minions will return in 2009

Think you've seen the last of Overlord? Think again. Codemasters has announced that a sequel, Overlord II, is now in development at Triumph Studios. The game will retain the same gameplay of the first title, whilst increasing the scale of the game dramatically. Emphasis seems to be on epic battles between The Overlord and his minions and a new, Roman-esque, civilization that has set out to thwart him.

Minions are now able to ride into battle on various different creatures and the environments are promised to vary far more than in the original. Overlord was a pretty decent title, considering how early in this generation's cycle it was released, so we're looking forward to finding more about Overlord II between now and its 2009 release.

Exclusive Overlord PS3 content detailed ... on the day of release

Hear that? Silence. That's the sound you hear when the hype train is nowhere near you. Overlord hasn't had a particularly trumpeted release and have kept the PS3's exclusive content pretty close to their chest. Perhaps a little too close to their chest. Only today, on the day of release, do we know what extra stuff fills the game's Blu-ray.

The PS3 version contains new levels (one new level for each of the game's five kingdoms) and enemies, as well as new features such as 7.1 surround sound support. There's also a new online co-op mode, online head-to-head battles and "enhanced visuals." To top it off there's also a new mini map and hints and tips which pop up throughout the game to prevent the player from getting stuck. Not a bad update, really. It certainly makes the game more tempting, whether you've already played it on the 360/PC or not.

If you didn't get enough of this game when it came out for the 360 last year, it's safe to say the PS3 release of Overlord will be the definitive version. Why? All the extra content we talked about before, including some tweaked and enhanced graphics. The only real way to judge that claim is to see it in action -- thus the video. Well, after you sit through the forty-five second intro we saw on TV last year. Not much else to say, really, so check it out and let us know if this is something you'll be looking into!

Overload on new Overlord media

Overlord: Raising Hell is coming to PS3 this June. This enhanced port of the Xbox 360 original contains new features not found in the original, such as newly detailed visuals, 7.1 surround sound and feature additions, such as the new on-screen mini-map. It will also include all the levels from Raising Hell.

Players must take their minion horde and take over each abyss to claim the underworld throne, vanquishing all that get in the way. Yes, you'll have to get rid of pesky "hero" types as well. Our friends at X3F described the process of controlling your minions as "Pikmin-like." But more evil, of course.

Check out new screens in our gallery below, and check out the new trailer at www.codemasters.com/overlordraisinghell.

Well what do you know? Overlord IS coming to PS3

We totally didn't see this one coming (oh wait, yes we did) - CVG is confirming that Overlord will be coming to the PS3 this summer. Thanks to the storage capacity of Blu-ray the game will come bundled with all of the downloadable content that's currently available for the 360 and PC versions on the same disc as the game. The PS3 version will be released under the name Overlord: Raising Hell to reflect the extra content.

It's nice to get confirmation, even if Codemaster's vague quote all-but confirmed the game was coming. Sadly a more specific release date than "summer" isn't available, so it could arrive in four months or seven. Whichever happens, we'll be happy to finally get our hands on the game for our console of choice.

Rumour: Overlord coming to PS3?

Dutch site PS3 Party is reporting that Overlord, originally only for the Xbox 360 and PC, might be heading for the PS3. With no official announcement, this remains to be a complete rumour for now. We contacted Codemasters who gave us the following, very vague, statement: "After the release of the Overlord: Raising Hell expansion pack on Xbox Live Marketplace last week, there's been a definite increase in interest surrounding the dark adventures of the minion master. However, although we won't comment on rumour and speculation, I can certainly confirm that you haven't seen the last of the Overlord just yet."

So we haven't seen the last of the Overlord. But wait, we haven't seen the Overlord at all, yet. We're not going to read too much into it, but at least there was no outright denial. Overlord, or some form of a sequel, would be really nice to see on the PS3.
