New downloadable content for Overlord hits Marketplace this month, PC packs coming next year

The Overlord and his army of lethal minions are gearing up for another round of mayhem this November. A total of three new downloadable content packs for Codemasters and Triumph Studios‘ Overlord (PC, Xbox 360) will become available this month on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The downloadable content is led by Overlord: Raising Hell. This expansion pack adds all new single-player levels to the original Overlord game. Each of these new levels is a hell for each of the game’s five kingdoms. Players will have to battle it out against fallen heroes to claim the throne of each kingdom’s underworld.

Next up is the Overlord Challenge Pack. This premium download is for players looking for a challenge. It includes seven new online maps, including the competitive Protect Your Power map where players must defend the Overlord’s tower against waves of enemy attack. The Challenge Pack also introduces a new Legendary difficulty mode.

Finally, there’s the free Split-screen Multiplayer Pack. This free update will be available alongside the premium packs and will finally let players go head to head in an all-new split-screen multiplayer mode. It also includes a new multiplayer map, Rocky Race, which sees a pair of Overlords working cooperatively to survive the onslaught of a rampaging arch rock giant.

All three downloadable content packs will be available this November. Pricing has yet to be announced, so check back here for more updates. Downloadable content for Overlord‘s PC version is expected to become available in the New Year. A special edition PC box set of Overlord is also being readied for release in Germany. This box set will include all three of the updates above.
