Creatorii seriei Age of Wonders, Triumph Studios, a reusit sa-i convinga pe cei de la Codemasters sa se implice in publicarea noului lor joc, Overlord. Un nou joc action-adventure, plasat într-o lume fantasy sărită de pe fix și presărată cu umor negru(gen Dungeon Keeper).
Jucatorul va intra in pielea unui personaj care a mostenit puterile intunecate ale de-mult-disparutului Overlord-ului, inceputul jocului avand loc langa Dark Tower, fosta resedinta a acestuia.
"Overlord offers a wealth of freedom and allows players to experience classic fantasy like never before. Working with the minions, players can loot and pillage their way through the game's world or maybe resist the temptations of evil. In Overlord, player choices truly shape the world." (Lennart Sas, Director at Triumph Studios)
Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower. Only the player's actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed... evil or really evil! Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.
Overlord va fi lansat în 2007 pentru
PC și Xbox 360, însă Codemasters nu a confirmat încă prezența jocului la E3 2006.
Lansarea este programata pentru vara anului 2007
