JoWood Productions today announced that it is planning to release a expansion pack to the not-so-acclaimed Dungeon Lords. In addition, a true sequel to the original title is also in the works, which JoWood promises will feature an all-new physics engine and graphics.

The expansion pack is due out in the third quarter of 2008. Surprisingly it will not require the original game to play, and its story will bridge the gap between the original game and the upcoming Dungeon Lords sequel.
