Exclusive Overlord PS3 content detailed ... on the day of release

Hear that? Silence. That's the sound you hear when the hype train is nowhere near you. Overlord hasn't had a particularly trumpeted release and have kept the PS3's exclusive content pretty close to their chest. Perhaps a little too close to their chest. Only today, on the day of release, do we know what extra stuff fills the game's Blu-ray.

The PS3 version contains new levels (one new level for each of the game's five kingdoms) and enemies, as well as new features such as 7.1 surround sound support. There's also a new online co-op mode, online head-to-head battles and "enhanced visuals." To top it off there's also a new mini map and hints and tips which pop up throughout the game to prevent the player from getting stuck. Not a bad update, really. It certainly makes the game more tempting, whether you've already played it on the 360/PC or not.

This game was not available at any major video game retailer that I could find. They call this a release? Why bother making the game?

RazLeboL @ Jun 24th 2008 8:51PM

I'll buy it once it gets cheaper. The demo was fun.

Bill @ Jun 24th 2008 9:51PM

Well I did plan on getting this but knowing there is more content added to makes it worth even more.

Does anyone know if this is 2 player offline? It has a greyed-out "split screen" function in the demo...?

If it is, how do you play with 2 players? Is it like an RTS?

I loved playing the DEMO, this game turned out fun. it reminds me a bit of WoW though, still it's a great addition to the PS3 library of QUALITY games. I'm going to buy it asap.

You guys must not have been following this game very closely lol. All this content was detailed back when Codemasters announced the PS3 port back in like February. Most of it isn't exclusive to the PS3 either. The 7.1 sound, enhanced visuals and mini-map are new, but all the new levels and multiplayer stuff was made available on the 360 as DLC.
