Evaluation
Overlord: Raising Hell launched on February 28, 2008 as a complete package — it bundles the original Overlord campaign, the Raising Hell single-player expansion, and the Challenge Pack multiplayer maps all in a single product. The store description presents this as a finished, self-contained offering with no mention of planned future content.
The only notable post-launch developer communication was a July 27, 2016 announcement that the game had been ported to SteamOS, Mac, and Linux. This was a platform availability update, not new game content. Beyond that, developer communications have been limited to sales and discount posts with no indication of any planned content additions.
This is a 2008 game that shipped as a complete, bundled product. There is no roadmap, no unreleased DLC, and no developer statements suggesting additional content was ever planned beyond what was included at launch. The game is complete.
Evidence
Store description presents the game as a complete bundle including the base Overlord campaign, the Raising Hell expansion with five new hellish abyss levels, and the Challenge Pack with seven multiplayer maps — all included as a finished package with no mention of future content.
Codemasters and Virtual Programming announced that Overlord: Raising Hell is now available on SteamOS, Mac, and Linux — a platform port, not new game content.

About this game
How evil can you get?
Discover how corruptible you are in Overlord, the twisted fantasy action adventure where you can be evil (or really evil). In the game's seriously warped fantasy world, players will become the Overlord and get first-hand experience of how absolute power corrupts absolutely. You could be a regular run-of-the-mill Overlord. However, with incredible power at your disposal and a team of evil-minded impish critters, the Minions, on hand to do your bidding, how will you resist the temptation to be wonderfully despotic?!
Go deeper into the Overlord's twisted world as the single-player expansion content opens a series of hellish new levels, each a supernatural abyss for the game's five kingdoms: Mellow Hills, Evernight, Heaven's Peak, the Golden Halls and the Ruborian Desert. Access to each abyss is via a portal, which opens once a kingdom has been successfully conquered and the previous ruler banished to a personal hell within. However it's not just the fallen heroes that have been dragged into the abyss: the Overlord's newly loyal peasants have also been taken down into hell too.
With the undead denizens of each abyss on the attack and threatening the Overlord's reign above ground, there's only one thing for it: assemble your minion army, descend into each abyss and embark on a fresh wave of tyranny in order to return the serfs to their homelands, defeat the fallen heroes once and for all, and claim the throne of each kingdom's underworld.
INCLUDES THE OVERLORD CHALLENGE PACK:
Come and have a go if your Overlord's hard enough. All new pillaging fun with seven additional online multiplayer maps, including the competitive ‘Capture the Maiden’ map and ‘Protect Your Power’, where players must defend the Overlord's tower against waves of enemy attack.
