Overlord II DLC to be available 'closer to release'

As development winds down on Triumph and Codemasters' upcoming sequel Overlord II, we're comforted with the fact that downloadable content is planned, is in the works and will be available closer to the game's retail release."The DLC for Overlord 1 was an experiment for both Triumph and Codemasters, but perhaps it came a little too late after the release to appeal to all Overlord's players," admitted creative director Lennart Sas. "The plan for Overlord II is to have the DLC out closer to release," adding that "Overlord II is already a lot prettier than the original."
A prettier Overlord that is (hopefully) less buggy, full of content and already has timely DLC planned? We applaud the effort. Just don't make the DLC feel like it should have been in the retail copy and we'll be cool.

I liked Overlord a lot but I never got the DLC cause it came out long after I had stopped playing the game, hopefully this time around I'm still interested when the DLC comes out.

The DLC is a perfect reason to play the game again. It was a great set of stuff to play through.

Developers have to play that fine line with DLC, too early and players feel they got screwed that it wasn't included. Too late and they run the risk of their game not being relevant in the fast paced gaming business.
It will be interesting to see how the GTA IV DLC performs. I won't be getting it, but then again I'm a cheapskate. :)

If it is less buggy then I will be interested since I liked the first ones demo but a friend told me a bug forced him to restart the game and that turned me away from a purchase.

I think the problem wasn't with the time frame, it was the lack of communication on the companys part.
It was announced and date. Released in germany. Date came and went for US release and nothing,,, not one word from codemasters. It was at least 3 months after the original date that it actually came out, and there was no announcement when it did.

Overlord was fun, but it didnt have a map. I kept getting lost and going in circles.
I never got past Oberon...

I ran into the same problem. I don't know why they didn't bother fitting one in on the game. The worst was is Evernight Forest.

"A prettier Overlord that is (hopefully) less buggy"
The major bug that plauged Overlord was eventually fixed.
This game still remains one of my favorite games on the 360. The Raising Hell expansion was awesome as well.
I'm really looking forward to the sequel. Can't wait!
