Publisher Funcom and developer Mighty Kingdom have delayed Conan Chop Chop from its previously planned September 3 release date to Q1 2020 to add online multiplayer to the game, the companies announced.
“One of the things we get to do with the extra time is expand multiplayer from just couch co-op to also include full online multiplayer,” said Mighty Kingdom CEO Philip Mayes in a press release. “This has undoubtedly been THE most requested feature after we started showing off the game, so we’re very excited for the opportunity to bring that in.”
Conan Chop Chop will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
The treacherous wizard Thoth-Amon has devised a plan to resurrect the ancient evil that is Xaltotun. If he succeeds, he will condemn the world to an eternity of darkness and enslavement. Only you can stop him, but in order to do so you must use all your cunning. All your guile. You must summon all your courage and swordsmanship. You must … Chop Chop!
Conan Chop Chop is the most epic and realistic stick figure game ever to be set in the world of Conan the Barbarian, thus there will be an excessive amount of gore and flying limbs. Be warned that this may in turn lead to uncontrollable outbursts of joy and/or profanities, usually depending on which end of the sword you are on.
