Alongside Overlord 2, Codemasters has announced a new Wii game for the Overlord series: Overlord Dark Legend. According to Codemasters' Dean Scott, associate producer for the game, Overlord Dark Legend will be an all-new game for the Wii, built from the ground-up for Nintendo's console. The game will use the full capabilities of the Wii Remote, using a point and click interface to direct and order minions around. Comparisons for the first game in the series have been made to Nintendo's Pikmin series.

Codemasters is targeting a 2009 release for the game.
