Can you be good at being bad...again? Publisher Codemasters certainly hopes so as they have just announced plans to release Overlord II for the PC and other platforms in 2009. The sequel to the fantasy strategy-RPG will once again be developed by Triumph Studios as you play a new and evil Overlord that controls its Minions in a campaign that's based loosely on the Roman Empire.

Codemasters are promising that the Minions you get to control in Overlord II will be smarter and deadlier than the original and that they will be able to ride mounts like wolves and other creatures for the first time. Minions will also be able to wreck the surrounding buildings and scenery. Aside from the 2009 date, no specific release date was announced.
