Overlord 2 Announced; Also Coming to Wii and DS

Codemasters and developer Triumph Studios announced today that fantasy action game Overlord will receive a sequel set for release next year. In development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, the game – simply dubbed Overlord 2 – promises “epic battles, all new Minion play mechanics, stunningly detailed new visuals and a fresh theme.”

The publisher also announced that the franchise is heading to the Wii and DS as well. Scheduled for release sometime next year, the game, dubbed Overlord Dark Legend, will be an all-new action game for the Wii featuring minion control through the Wii Remote. Overlord Minions, the DS title, will be a puzzle action game. Both these games are being worked on by Climax Studios.
