Awesome

It's also both single player and online multiplayer- http://www.conanexiles.com/

The press release says it's "first and foremost" multiplayer. I kinda wonder what that means.

[TheCommentator]

Crush the enemy, see them driven before you, and have the lamentation of the women... by yourself or with friends!

I really want this game to be good.

The fantasy world of Conan was fascinating, but not fully explored in film or game.

[zombiewombie]

I'm a bit confused by "survival". Do they mean like wave based hoard mode-ish or do they mean like Ark and Day Z?

[Abriael]

Like Ark and Day Z

[DragonDDark]

Now I'm Sceptical

[zombiewombie]

Ugggh, we'll that just kills the hype for me. :/

[Bdub2000]

Give it some time... I just started Ark, hated it because of the graphics and glitches. Played with my friends for a while anyways, and now I'm completely hooked. Conan game that is Ark style might be really cool.

Do we get to rescue the topless fine maidens from their demise again or will the SJWs have their way?

[ColonelHugh]

Conan and the Cult of The Feminists!

[Tsar4ever01]

If the game world isn't designed off the Robert E. Howard novels, I'm not interested. Screw all the comics, graphic novels and movies. If you want to truly know Conan, read all the R.Howad Novelizations, it'll really change your prospectives on his character.

I hope the main focuse is story driven. And single player.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Looks really good so far, I like the premise so far but want to see more before I jump on the hype train.

[watchem]

Interesting concept, horrible font.

[specialguest]

Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Conan: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

[Psychotica]

Sounds interesting but the fact they mentioned that it's “first and foremost” a multiplayer game makes me think the single player mode could just be a neglected after thought like in GTA V. But I will give it the benefit of the doubt for now until they show some real single player gameplay.
