Codemasters today announced the release of a playable demo of its upcoming PlayStation 3 title, Overlord Raising Hell, the “extended and extra evil edition of Triumph Studios" fantasy game.

“In the demo, players don the Overlord’s illustrious armour and embark on a session of serious destruction in the once tranquil area of the Mellow Hills,” reads today's press release.

“As the delightfully despotic Overlord, players are supported by the Minions, a raucous horde of impish creatures.

The Minions are more than willing to act as instructed, no matter how unpleasant that may be for the unsuspecting populace and, most notably, the local wildlife.”
