Overlord is set in a warped fantasy world where the player takes control of a character who has inherited the legacy of a long-dead overlord, with actions in the game determining if the player will become a new all-powerful overlord. With plenty of black humour, how powerful you become will depend on how evil you are in the game, and you’re helped along by a gang of impish creatures.
“Overlord offers a wealth of freedom and allows players to experience classic fantasy like never before,” said Lennart Sas, Director at Triumph Studios. “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.”
“Overlord comes loaded with innovative and compelling game mechanics wrapped in a scenario that’s played out with plenty of black humour,” said Barry Jafrato, Senior VP of Brand for Codemasters. “We’re delighted to be working with Triumph on the title, bringing something fresh and original to next-generation gamers.”
Look for more details on Overlord during its development, as the summer 2007 release date approaches. Overlord will be released on PC and as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360.
