Funcom announces new game Conan Unconquered
Funcom is pleased to announce Conan Unconquered, a strategy game releasing in the second quarter of 2019 where players must build the ultimate stronghold and assemble an unconquerable army that can stand against wave after wave of enemies in increasing numbers and difficulty. Besides the publisher, Funcom, we also have the developer, Petroglyph, a team that includes several of the lead devs of classic and original strategy games such as Dune 2 and Command & Conquer.
“It is both a professional and personal honor to be working with the genre veterans at Petroglyph,” said Funcom CEO Rui Casais. “My first love is strategy games and I spent endless hours playing Dune 2 back in the day. The current team at Petroglyph is responsible for some truly great strategy games, including Star Wars: Empire at War, and I can think of no one better to bring to life the first ever strategy game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian.”
“We’re extremely happy to be working with Funcom on a game that uses the compelling backstory of Conan’s Black Colossus,” said Petroglyph CEO Chuck Kroegel. “Both companies have worked very close, developing new technology and ideas that truly made this a team effort in every sense. The iconic creatures, villains, and heroes of the Conan universe have contributed greatly to what our early beta testers indicate is a really fun and exciting game that continues to get better every day. Partnering with Funcom has truly made this Conan game experience unconquerable!”
Conan Unconquered is a high-paced strategy game where players have to defeat waves of enemies. They must build an unconquerable stronghold and put up defensive measures to avoid being destroyed. You can either play single-player or play online with a friend and build a shared stronghold while fending off enemies.
Conan Unconquered is inspired by the Black Colossus story. Funcom has previously developed and published Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and Conan Exiles, which has become the bestselling and fastest-selling game in Funcom’s 25-year history. Funcom also communicated that it is also working on a single-player Conan game that will be revealed later.
