From Grindstone:
Something is pulling legends out of their own centuries. Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes and other heroes wake up inside the Black Pyramid, a labyrinth that ignores the rules of space and time and changes with every descent. Each run gets them a little closer to the question at its centre: who summoned them here?
Across five characters, players mix melee, swordplay, gunfire and magic. Every fight builds up a brutal execution, and it’s up to the player when to let it loose. Warrior Memories, ancient artifacts and Combat Masteries shape each build. Players also pick up dice along the way and can spend them on better loot straight away or save them for when more is at stake. They can go in solo or bring a friend in 2-player online co-op.

"We’re thrilled to bring a legendary hero like Conan back to the modern gaming world. 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. We want players to step into the world they’ve imagined while reading those stories, in all its savage and strange glory." - Peter Nagy, CEO, Games Farm
"Eldritch horrors, reality-warping sorcery, ancient beings from other worlds, these lesser-known aspects are some of the coolest parts of Conan, and players will finally get to experience them. Conan and Robert E. Howard's many other mighty characters are in good hands with the Games Farm and we are excited for players to get their hands on them and see how cool they all really are. - Marcos Cronander, President, Heroic Signatures
