Rather than going to the 360? The actual sequel is going to be on the 360 aka Overlord 2. This is another spinoff that's going to be pointless like the Soulcalibur one was. The actual main Overlord game isn't even good. I can't imagine what this game will be. There's little hope this or Overlord 2 will be any good.

 

Read the article...

From the Article:

IGN: How is Overlord Dark Legend related to the first Overlord game?

Dean Scott: There are lots of subtle connections for Overlord-savvy gamers, but in the lineage of the series the events take place before the original game. So certain things you do set up events featured in the other games. It's not the same Overlord though. We're setting up the idea that there have been a series of Overlords throughout time.

is not a spinoff

Anything that isn't part of the main series is enevitably a spinoff. This isn't Star Wars where the first Overlord game was called Overlord 4 and this Wii game is now Overlord 1. It's a spinoff that takes place before the first Overlord. I'm not sure what you read that made you think otherwide but there's only one main series for a franchise and any other games relating to the series are spinoff games made from the original concept.

 

Wow my faith in humanity keeps dropping when people like him say things like that.  I mean shoot the aliens are going to know who to take down now aren't they. 

 

Note if a game is a prequel techincally its the first in the series meaning its the first one.  Meaning actually the original Overlord game now just technically became a sequel and this is the first in the series.  A spinoff is something that diverts from the main storyline and events.  This doesn't which is why you failed so bad.

As for the game I'm intrigued but not sold.  Need some vids.
