Codemasters had a surprise critical and sales hit with the original 2007 released fantasy RPG-action game Overlord. So of course they decided to commission a sequel from the game's original developer Triumph Studios. In a recent press event Codemasters stated they were planning a June release for the game

New screenshots for Overlord II show that the game hasn't lost its sense of humor; you can see that from the shot above where evil Minions are riding wolves. As with the first game your goal is to be the evil bad guy of a fantasy land as you use these Minions to take over the Glorious Empire. Any empire with "Glorious" in its title needs to be put down anyway.
