We first teased this game on April 1st, 2019. The joke there was that nobody would believe it was real while, in the background, we were very seriously working on this game. At E3 that year we took to the stage at the PC Gamer Show to announce that it was in fact coming out, and soon. We announced a release date of September 2019. The lesson to be learned there is do not mess with fate. If you try to mess with the power of April fools, it will turn around and make a fool out of you.
The pandemic is certainly a factor in the delays. But the truth is, we knew we could make the game even better if we spent more time on it. And we're so happy we've given this game the time it has needed because it's become such a joy to play especially in co-op. So, without any further fake-outs or switch-a-roos, Conan Chop Chop is finally ready. We will be releasing a free Demo at the Steam Next Fest on the 21st of February, and after that we're releasing the full game on the 1st of April. Wait, no, bad idea. We’ll release it on the 1st of March!
Conan Chop Chop is a party rogue-lite for 1-4 players full of mayhem, loot, and adventure. In this outrageous take on Conan the Barbarian, you are the muscle-bound hero foolish enough to try and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon!
Hyboria is waiting for those of you who have been so patient with us, and we hope you know we never took your support for granted. It was the warm reception received in 2019 that kept us moving forward in the hopes of making Chop Chop the game that it can be!
