Funcom Announces New Open World Conan Title
If you have a 'Conan the Barbarian' itch that needs to be scratched after hearing Arnie re-confirm a movie sequel, Funcom might have just what you need: Conan Exiles.
The developer describes Conan Exiles as a multi-player focused, open-world survival game taking place "in the brutal lands of Conan the Barbarian". You're an Exile, alone in the "barbaric wasteland" to fend for yourself. Hunt, grow crops, craft weapons and tools, or travel the "vast world" of Hyboria alone, or with a group.
The game will, of course, feature Conan's particular brand of brutality as stated by Funcom, "unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying. Fight other players to dominate the exiled lands, and even call upon the wrath of the heavens to aid you by sacrificing enemy players on the alters of the gods."
Conan Exiles will launch on Steam Early Access this Summer, but there's a console version of the game in-development.
