Codemasters teases new Overlord game

MCV Staff 23rd April 2015 Development News

The Overlord series is returning, publisher Codemasters has confirmed.

The publisher yesterday released a teaser for the title, more details of which are due to be released this afternoon.

Details about the game remain scarce, although the video below suggests it will be a four-player top down affair and quite different from the main previous instalments and perhaps more akin to 2009 DS title Overlord: Minions. A MOBA, maybe?

It also appears as if Rhianna Pratchett will resume writing duties, having done the same on both 2007’s Overlord and 2009’s Overlord II.
