I’ve been toggling between reading and listening for years, and when friends ask me about 'Overlord' I tell them to expect both drama-style audio and narrated audiobook versions depending on what they want. The Japanese side of the franchise produced official drama CDs and audio dramas using the anime cast, which are sold as merchandise and sometimes bundled with special editions. Those are great if you want voice performances of your favorite characters rather than a faithful prose narration.
For the English light novels, the publisher has put out audiobook editions for at least some volumes; I regularly spot them on Audible, Apple Books, and similar stores. They’re typically single-narrator recordings that adapt the novel text (not abridged radio plays), and the listings will explicitly show the publisher or production credits for verification. If you prefer a full-cast experience, the drama CDs are the better pick — if you want a traditional audiobook to follow the prose, search for the novel title on major audiobook platforms and check publisher details to confirm it’s official. I usually sample the preview clip to see if the narrator’s style clicks with me before buying.

I like to keep things practical, so here’s the quick reality: there are official audio products for 'Overlord', but they come in two flavours. Japan produced drama CDs and audio dramas that function like small plays performed by the anime voice actors, while the light novels themselves have official audiobook releases in English through mainstream sellers (Audible/Apple Books etc.) for several volumes. I’ve streamed a volume on a long drive and enjoyed the narrator’s pacing, though it’s not a full-cast performance.
If you’re deciding what to try first, pick drama CDs if you want character voices and banter, or the audiobook if you want the novel read straight through. To be safe, check the publisher’s site and the store metadata so you get an official release rather than fan uploads. Personally, I like alternating between both — the drama CDs for energy, the audiobooks for dense worldbuilding — but it depends on your listening mood.

I still get a little giddy thinking about listening to novels on the train, and with 'Overlord' it's been a mixed but mostly positive experience finding official audio content. In short: yes, there are official audio releases related to 'Overlord', but what you find depends on language and format. In Japan there have been drama CDs and official audio drama releases tied to the series for years, and those are full-cast productions that really lean into the anime voice actors. They’re different from a straight audiobook (more like a radio play), but if you love character voices you’ll probably enjoy them more than a single narrator reading the text.
For the light novels themselves, English-language audiobook editions of at least some volumes exist through mainstream services like Audible and Apple Books, released in conjunction with the official publisher. I’ve listened to a couple of these during long drives — they’re narrated in a single-voice format rather than as a full cast, which suits the novel’s internal monologue-heavy style. If you want to be 100% sure about which specific volumes have audiobook editions, check the publisher’s site (Yen Press for English releases) or search Audible/Apple/Google Play and look for publisher notes that say ‘official audiobook’.
If you’re hunting, keep your eyes open for both drama CDs (fun, character-focused) and the straight audiobook versions of the novels. I usually bookmark the publisher page and follow the author/illustrator social accounts — they’ll often announce audio releases and sometimes special editions. Happy listening — it turns my commute into a miniature fantasy marathon.

In the city ruled by vampires, Pure Omegas don't live long.
They disappear.
For twenty years, Kael has survived by becoming invisible. He hides beneath oversized hoodies, works the night shift at a blood clinic, and swallows illegal blocker pills to suppress the scent that could get him auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Sign a protection contract... or die.
Kael chooses survival.
But the contract awakens an ancient blood oath neither of them meant to invoke, a forbidden bond that ties their blood, instincts, and fates together beyond law or choice.
Now every vampire in the city is hunting the rare Omega hidden inside Lucien's penthouse. The High Council wants to dissect him. Rival Houses want to claim him. And the ruthless Sovereign who swore only to protect him is slowly losing control of the instincts that demand he scent, mark, and keep Kael forever.

In a world where magic is a distant memory, where humans have the ability to harness a dormant power within them called Battle Force...
A man from modern Earth suddenly awakens in the body of Norton Lorist, a young man of noble ancestry who has been exiled from his northern homeland by his family to Morante City, the capital of the Forde syndicate, under the guise of furthering his education.
Little did he know what was in store for him when, years later, he received a summons from his family to return to the northern lands and inherit the position of head of the family...
This is the story of his life before the summons...
This is the story of his journey north and the allies he gathers along the way...
This is the story of his rebuilding of his family's dominance and his protection against other power-hungry nobles...
These are the "Tales of the Reincarnated Lord".
Alaric Thorn was just a blacksmith in the 12th century—a husband, a father, a simple man.
Until the day everything was taken from him.
His wife murdered.
His daughters stolen.
And he himself slaughtered, powerless to protect the people he loved.
But death did not end his story.
Dragged into a supernatural realm after dying, Alaric made a desperate bargain:
power in exchange for completing a mission in the future.
A mission he did not understand.
He returned to Earth centuries later—only to realize his revenge no longer existed.
Four hundred years had passed.
His family long gone.
Their killer long dead.
And Alaric… could no longer die.
Cursed with immortality, he wandered through ages and empires, trying every possible way to end his life—failing each time. All he wanted was to go back in time and fix what he had lost.
But when he finally stepped into a time machine, fate betrayed him again.
Instead of the past…
Alaric was thrown into another realm entirely—a brutal world crawling with monsters, ancient races, and system-like powers. Here, strength must be earned through blood, each battle pushing him closer to awakening his true potential.
In this realm, he is no longer just a wanderer.
He is a rising lord.
A conqueror.
A man destined to build an empire strong enough to challenge a king—
a king who bears the same name as the monster who destroyed his life on Earth.
As Alaric fights beasts, defeats tyrants, and gathers allies and armies, he discovers the truth behind the mission he accepted centuries ago:
To reclaim his fate…
To break his immortal curse…
To rewrite the destiny stolen from him…
He must rise as the Immortal King.
The true master of the Dark Realm he was fated to rule.
Omegas can never be kings.
Yet King Arthur has sat upon the throne for years, guarding a secret that could cost him his crown—and his life.
A secret his mother died protecting.
When an unexpected heat threatens to expose him, Arthur finds himself at the mercy of the one man he has spent years fearing.
His uncle.
Regent Prince Malakor.
A war hero. A political predator. A man rumored to covet the throne itself.
Arthur expects betrayal.
Instead, Malakor offers a bargain.
But every deal comes with a price.
As ambitious nobles circle the crown, enemies emerge from the shadows, and old secrets buried by the former queen begin to surface, Arthur finds himself trapped between duty and desire, power and survival.
Because if the kingdom discovers what he is, everything will burn.
And if he falls for the one man capable of destroying him...
The throne may not be the only thing he loses.
Man, I spent way too long trying to track this one down because I kept confusing it with the zombie spin-offs from other franchises. As far as I can tell, 'Overlord Zombie' doesn't have an official audiobook out there. I checked Audible, Libby, and even some of the author's community pages, and it's all radio silence. It's a shame because I think the visceral, gory action scenes in that book would translate really well to an audio format with some good sound design.
If you're dying for something similar in audio, you might have better luck with the main 'Overlord' light novel series, which does have some professionally narrated volumes floating around. For 'Zombie' itself, you're probably stuck with the text for now, which honestly isn't the worst—the illustrations are pretty gnarly and worth seeing in print.
