At the New York Comic-Con, IGN’s Steve Butts demoed Overlord II. Want to know what the game is about? Hit the jump for more details.

*Spoilers for the first Overlord incoming:

In this sequel, the Overlord isn’t around to be the bad guy, because of what happened in the last game. You will begin this game as his heir: the Overlad. His father passed on all of his powers to him, but he is still unsure of how to use them.  As you work your way through this adventure of Overlord, you’ll end up becoming more powerful the the first! In this action packed sequel, “The Empire” is trying to suck all the magic out of the world. It’s up to you to reign supreme over the land!

What did you think of the first one? Is anyone excited for this?

Overlord II is set to release worldwide in Summer 2009.
