Funcom has revealed the first developer diary for their upcoming survival sandbox Conan game, Conan Exiles.

Featured above, the developer diary introduces Conan himself, as he plays a pivotal role in the beginning of the game in saving you from being crucified. The developers also promise there will be lots of decapitation and violence, regardless.

“In the game, when you hit somebody, you see you do damage. You see you leave a mark on the other player. You see heads coming off, you see arms coming off, you see blood, you see gore, you see dents in armor,” the video states. “These are the things we’re aiming for, this is what we want to achieve in the game.”

Here are some new screenshots for the game:

It’s worth pointing out that Conan Exiles will be playable entirely solo, or publicly with others on hosted multiplayer servers. You’ll be able to build your own settlements and strongholds, fight wars, and even sacrifice other players to the gods.
