Codemasters Confirms Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, Coming To PC, Xbox One and PS4 in 2015
Codemasters today confirmed the development of Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, which after six years of development, will be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015.
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil gives players a brand new, darkly comic quest to embark upon. Rhianna Pratchett will return to write the script, which sees players take up the role of one of four Netherghūls. These brand new, suitably nefarious additions to the series are undead servants of the dark arts, determined to bring evil back to a world overrun by the forces of good.
Four player co-op is supported locally or online, and Codemasters are calling it an Action RPG. Check out the first trailer below:
“We’ve been scheming about a new Overlord for some time” said Rob Elser, Executive Producer Minion, Codemasters. “We really wanted to do something that would allow us be evil alongside our friends, instead of the normal heroics in every other game. The idea of playing as a team of bad guys commanding Minions to do our utmost bidding, while also causing chaos for each other, just really made us smile. And as you know, an Overlord game never takes itself too seriously.”
“Finally the secret dark rituals have paid off!” said Rhianna Pratchett, Mistress of Scrolls “I’m often asked if there’ll be another Overlord game, so it’s wonderful to be back in black helping to create a new carnage-filled evil ride. This is one game franchise which has been as fun to develop as it is to play, and Fellowship of Evil is no exception. And don’t worry, there will be sheepies. We have plans for them. Oh yes!”
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil will be released for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 sometime in 2015. We'll keep you posted!
