A brand new open world survival game set in the Conan the Barbarian universe has been announced today by Funcom, who worked on PC titles, Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer, and Age of Conan: Unchained.
Conan Exiles will launch first on Windows PC this summer with console versions arriving at a later date.
Though a single player campaign is confirmed, the main action will take place in the multiplayer arena with players waging war against enemies and trying to survive by harvesting resources and hunting down animals.
A teaser trailer to mark the announcement of Conan Exiles was also released.
Funcom explains more:
"You are an exile, one of thousands cast out to fend for themselves in a barbaric wasteland swept by terrible sandstorms and besieged on every side by enemies. Here you must fight to survive, build and dominate.
Hungry, thirsty and alone, your very first battle is that against the harsh environment. Grow crops or hunt animals for food. Harvest resources to build weapons and tools. Build a shelter to survive. Ride across a vast world and explore alone, or band together with other players to build entire settlements and strongholds to withstand fierce invasions.
When strong enough, march forth into battle and wage war against your enemies as you fight to dominate the exiled lands. Sacrifice enemy players on the altars of the gods and shift the balance of power your way. Unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying."
Funcom is also working on two other games set in the Conan the Barbarian universe with official announcements expected later this year.
