Conan
Another delay is here for Conan Chop Chop with the game being pushed out until 2021 to add more Conan stuff into the game for the launch
It may come as no surprise right now, but it looks like Conan Chop Chop has been delayed yet again. It was slated to release out there by this month from Funcom but given that the days are becoming fewer here, it was pretty much seen coming. Now we will have to wait until early 2021 to get back into this version of the Conan universe with our friends out there. It will also give Mighty Kingdom more time to expand out what we will have in the final form of the game, so there is that to look forward to as well. After all of the other rushed issues we have seen out there this year, I will take another delay to get a good game instead of a bad one.
The reasons given for this new delay are not what we have been getting all year, but that the team has more to add from the Conan universe into the game and they are trying to skip that whole crunch time thing. You know, that aspect of gaming that we all rail against in concept but do not understand or can offer up any real solutions for. All while still demanding our games are released sooner than later. Gods, I hate that subsection of the community out there. I digress, as the topic is when we will be seeing Conan Chop Chop hit all of those platforms out there. My best guess will be in Q1 or Q2 of 2021 and we will most likely see a native version on the PS5 and Xbox Series X added in the mix. I could be wrong.
The rogue-lite party-game was originally scheduled to release in September 2019. Then it was Q1 2020. After that, it was Q2. Which, of course, in turn became “later this year”. But this time we mean it for real. After a series of brilliant ideas have been implemented and a new bunch of cute and deadly mobs and traps have found their way to Hyboria, the development is nearly complete. Conan Chop Chop will release in early 2021, bigger and better than originally intended.
Following a resurgence of cutesy online co-op games, the scope of Conan Chop Chop has increased. The hack ‘n’ slash, which supports both couch co-op and online co-op on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, has been augmented with more random events, new traps, and vicious minibosses roaming the world of Conan the Cimmerian Barbarian. While the previous number of possible item combinations was a measly 14 trillion, it is now too high for the human brain to fathom, guaranteeing infinite replayability in a beautifully designed procedurally generated world.
Conan Chop Chop is developed by Mighty Kingdom and published by Funcom. The hack ‘n’ slash rogue-lite was cheekily announced on April 1st, 2019 and was perceived to be an April Fools’ Day joke. It was then unveiled as a real game during E3, where press and influencers got the first hands-on preview. The game will release on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Were you curious as to why Conan Chop Chop had not hit the platforms yet or did you suspect it was going to be delayed? Do you think that everyone should calm down in general and let the games come out when they are ready? Will this be the final delay we see for this April Fools' Day joke turned video game? Let us all know down in the comments what you are thinking and then feel free to discuss it all. If there is more for Conan Chop Chop, we will share it all here. Just be sure to keep checking back for all of that and more. You will not be let down by any of it, hopefully.
