Diablo Meets Hades in New Conan the Barbarian Game

Robert E. Howard's fantasy hero stars in a new 'sword & sorcery meets cosmic horror' roguelike

Conan the Barbarian has managed to remain relevant in pop culture for more than 90 years, thanks to literature, film, and video games. In 2028, Conan will return in a new adventure that combines the fantasy franchise's sword-and-sworcery themes with a dash of cosmic horror.

Developer Games Farm announced Conan: The Black Pyramid on Wednesday, revealing a reality-warping action roguelike that will see Conan aligned with other characters created by author Robert E. Howard, including pulp heroes Solomon Kane and Dark Agnes.

According to an announcement from Games Farm, Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes, and two other unannounced heroes "wake up inside the Black Pyramid, a labyrinth that ignores the rules of space and time and changes with every descent." Conan: The Black Pyramid is an action-RPG roguelike, and each run through the pyramid promises to get players closer to discovering who summoned them across time... and why.

Conan: The Black Pyramid promises a mix of melee, swordplay, magic, and gunplay. The game will feature solo and two-player cooperative play.

"We’re thrilled to bring a legendary hero like Conan back to the modern gaming world," said Peter Nagy, CEO of Games Farm, in a statement. "Robert E. Howard’s stories mean a lot to us, as they do to generations of readers, and we’re approaching them with all the care and respect they deserve.
