Conan Chop Chop Release Pushed to 2020
Funcom and Mighty Kingdom recently announced a change in Conan Chop Chop’s release date. Instead of landing in digital stores on September 3rd, the action-adventure roguelike will be out Q1 2020. The reason for the move: online multiplayer.
Conan Chop Chop was originally going to be a local coop affair. But thanks to the fans (and press) Mighty Kingdom decided to add in the online option…
“We had an absolute blast showcasing the game at E3 and Gamescom earlier this year,” said founder and CEO of Mighty Kingdom Philip Mayes. “It was especially gratifying to see how much fun people had playing the game in co-op mode. The teamwork, the banter, the way people moved ever so sneakily towards their near-death companions in order to pick up their gold when they fall…We couldn’t have been happier with the reception.”
Apparently, one of the most requested features was online multiplayer. Makes sense. It’s great to have this option when meeting in person isn’t…well, an option.
It’s also worth noting how crowded September has become. With Gears 5, Borderlands 3, The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening (to name a few) all dropping next month, Conan Chop Chop might have been overlooked. Which would have been a shame; the game looks fun!
Conan Chop Chop will be released Q1 2020 on the PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
