Codemasters has all but confirmed Overlord 3 is real and a reveal is imminent.

The British studio Tweeted out the below image earlier today, along with the caption "Ohhh shi....... RUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!" An additional Twitter account has also been set up for the villainous Gnarl, the series' aged Hellspawn and Minion Master.Though there's no other details as yet, the Gnarl account has been particularly vocal so far this morning, so there's every chance we'll have more news to share as the day progresses.The first Overlord title came out back in 2007 on Xbox 360 and PC, with a PS3 edition following a year later. It was well-received, scoring an 8.1 from us thanks to a clever storyline and gameplay that turned the action-adventure genre on its head. The sequel, Overlord II, came in 2009 on all three platforms but wasn't quite as loved thanks to narrower scope.With the power of the new consoles and several years to learn from their mistakes, hopefully this means the long-awaited sequel is set to come back bigger and better.
