Funcom have announced a delay in developer Mighty Kingdom’s adventure roguelite Conan Chop Chop.
As stated in the press release (via Games Press), the game’s previous launch window of Q2 2020 has been delayed to later in 2020 for more development time. An exact release date will be announced later via Funcom.
Rather worryingly, this is the fourth delay for the game. Originally planned for September 3rd, 2019, it was then delayed to Q1 2020, February 25th, then Q2 2020 as aforementioned. However, considering the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forcing many into remote working, the latter is far more expected.
You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below:
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.
