Funcom’s April Fools’ Roguelite Conan Chop Chop Officially Launches On March 1
Conan Chop Chop, Funcom’s April Fools’ Day game, is finally launching next month after nearly three years in development and multiple delays. The chibi-style 2D roguelite was initially meant to be a couch co-op game but has since been expanded with full online multiplayer features.
“With its hilarious take on Conan the Barbarian’s world, Conan Chop Chop puts players into the leathery sandals of some of Hyboria’s greatest heroes as they battle to stop the treacherous wizard Thoth-Amon, evil incarnate and not a very nice guy. Cleverly positioned as a roguelite party game, with special emphasis on party, players get to throw themselves head-first into a 1-4 player multiplayer mayhem in both online and couch co-op. It has magically created maps, trillions of item combinations to loot, and an eclectic cast of curious critters ranging from self-replicating chickens to icky brain-spiders.”
“Conan is a barbarian who has been forged in the flames of battle; his grit and determination, his blood, sweat and tears have made him the formidable warrior we all love,” said Mighty Kingdom Creative Lead Kimbo Forrest. “And our blood, sweat and tears have given you this: a Conan adventure unlike any the world has witnessed before. An experience not just for the veteran fans, but one to draw in and delight new audiences.”
The game officially launches on March 1st on PC, consoles, and Nintendo Switch with a playable demo coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch on February 21st. The game will be priced at $14.99 on PC and $19.99 on consoles and is now available for pre-order on Xbox and Switch.
