Minion masters rejoice! Overlord is back and coming to PS4 in the guise of Overlord: Fellowship of Evil later this year.
Developed by Codemasters, with a script written by award-winning writer Rhianna Pratchett (Tomb Raider), fans will embark on a new dark comic quest as they step into the role of one of four Netherghūls (yes, there will be four-player co-op!). These undead servants of the dark arts have one mission in mind: to cast evil over a world filled with too much goodness.
Playing locally or online, you can help or hinder your co-op teammates and cause destruction across the land with the help of your minion hordes, who will once again be commanded by master Gnarl.
In a press release, Executive Producer Rob Elser spoke about Codemasters evil plans.
“We’ve been scheming about a new Overlord for some time” he said. “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.”
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil will also be released on Xbox One and PC and will be priced $19.99 (£14.99).
