Publisher Funcom and developer Mighty Kingdom have announced another delay for Conan Chop Chop.
The four-player cooperative action-adventure game will forgo its planned 2020 release window for one sometime in early 2021. Conan Chop Chop is set to release across Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The June 2019-announced game was originally set for a September release of that year, only to get delayed several times through 2020. Since this is not the first delay, Funcom said “this time we really mean it.”
“If we had launched this year, there’d be half the number of cute pigs in the game,” Funcom chief creative officer Joel Bylos said in a press release. “And you can’t launch a Conan game without that. And besides, the only crunch we want in our Conan game is the crunch of bones beneath our sandaled feet.”
Here’s a rundown on the game, via its Steam page:
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.
