Dungeon Overlord

Night Owl Games has acquired the worlwide publishing rights to Dungeon Overlord from Sony Online Entertainment, giving the developers control over the sales, marketing and operations of the Facebook game.

You're probably wondering if this move has anything to do with the hacker attack that kept SOE offline from May 2-14. According to Night Owl Games, "the buy-back of the publishing rights to Dungeon Overlord has been planned since before the recent security issues." Basically, the game's "overwhelming success" has allowed the developers to buy back the publishing rights from SOE.

There will be some Dungeon Overlord downtime this month while Night Owl Games performs the migration of data. You can find more details in the FAQ after the jump. If you'd like to try out the game, head over to the Dungeon Overlord Facebook page.
