Codemasters releases the 963MB PC demo for Overlord II, offering gamers a chance to check out a sample of the promising fantasy themed strategy adventure (or whatever you wanna call it).

Word is "players step into the big spiky boots of a new Overlord whose sights are firmly set on becoming the king of chaos, the bringer of evil and the master of Minions. As the demo opens the Overlord, aided and abetted by a team of brown fighter Minions, emerges from his underground lair into the ice caves only to discover a Yeti frozen in a block of ice. The Minions can, in their inimitably violent way, 'defrost' him and then give chase as he knuckles out into the snowy wastes of the Hunting Grounds, near the town of Nordberg."

Overlord II hits store shelves for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in North America on June 23, 2009, and Europe on June 26, 2009.
