Codemasters har nu officielt annonceret at Overlord: Fellowship of Evil udkommer til PC, PS4 og Xbox One i 2015. Spillet bliver udviklet in-house hos Codemasters (så altså ikke hos den originale udvikler Triumph Studios) og Rhianna Pratchett udlåner endnu engang hendes færdigheder som forfatter.
Selvom universet er uændret er der alligevel blevet plads til nogle tvists
i denne udgivelse, som kun bliver tilgængeligt digitalt. For det første, vil alle spillere ikke spille rollen som Overlord - istedet vil man spille som en af de fire Netherghūls. Spillet er et fire spillers co-op og strategi delen er blevet nedtonet selvom minions stadig spiller en roller.
"We've been scheming about a new Overlord for some time" siger 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!" siger 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!"
