Codemasters have confirmed that Rhianna Pratchett will return as scriptwriter for the Overlord franchise.
Nominated for a Writer's Guild Award for the original Overlord script in 2008, Pratchett will write for Overlord II as well as Wii and DS spinoffs Overlord Dark Legend and Overlord Minions.
Triumph Studios Director Lennart Sas said: "A huge part of Overlord's popularity stems from its tongue-in-cheek, often dark humour, and Rhianna's dialogue provides the perfect fit to the gameplay."
Overlord II will be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC late next year.
