The Conan the Barbarian franchise is treating fans to a brand-new release. The announcement comes a few months after Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed his return as the iconic character.
Game publisher Grindstone unveiled Conan: The Black Pyramid at the recent Golden Joystick Awards. Set in the shared universe created by author Robert E. Howard, it is an action roguelite RPG developed by Games Farm. The game is coming to PC via Steam in 2027.
The official premise of Conan: The Black Pyramid reads, “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?”

What to expect from Conan: The Black Pyramid’s gameplay & story?
Conan: The Black Pyramid will feature five playable heroes, including Conan, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes. The game promises gritty visuals and an exciting mix of melee, swordplay, gunfire, and sorcery in every fight. As players navigate the complex labyrinth, the mystery at the heart of the story begins to unravel. Additionally, Warrior Memories, ancient artifacts, and Combat Masteries are also featured. Players can collect dice to use them immediately to secure better loot or save them for later. They can also tackle the game solo or bring a friend for 2-player online co-op.
Conan: The Black Pyramid’s announcement comes just a few months after Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed his return as Conan in King Conan. During an appearance at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio, earlier this year, he said, “With King Conan, it’s a great old story that Conan was forty years as King, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, and there’s conflict, of course, but somehow he comes back, and there’s all kinds of madness, violence, magic, and creatures and stuff like that.”
The upcoming film is reportedly being developed at 20th Century Studios, with Christopher McQuarrie set to write and direct.
