Funcom, the creators of Conan Exiles, has announced a new game called Conan Chop Chop. Suddenly, a new trailer was released. The game is actually well-received, but unfortunately, Funcom is trolling with it, even two times.
What is Conan Chop Chop? According to the new trailer, Conan Chop Chop is a type of 2D hack & slash. Conan Chop Chop is supposed to be an “epic story of Bad vs. Bad-Ass” and lures with violence and blood, which are typical themes for Conan games.
The features include:
- 4-player co-op
- various nations from the Conan universe
- a battle royale mode with 2000 players
- billions of randomly generated dungeons
However, Funcom is pulling an April Fool’s joke with Conan Chop Chop and shows this in the exaggerations in the trailer. The game is said to run in 12K, 360° Virtual-Virtual Reality.
Funcom’s trolling is also evident on the website conanchopchop.com, which doesn’t really refer to the game. Fans with a German IP get trolled here even one more time.
The link refers to a video whose content is blocked in Germany. The next level of trolling is probably not intended.
This is how fans see Conan Chop Chop: Although Conan Chop Chop is just an April Fool’s joke, some Conan fans believe the game would be successful. Despite or perhaps because of the quirky presentation of the video, it is well-received.
Fans definitely want the game. Some players write in the comments on Youtube that they would really purchase the game. They are annoyed that it is just an April Fool’s joke.
Is the game coming out? Since the website does not currently point to a real game, it is unlikely that Conan Chop Chop will actually be released. Thus, the slowly growing success of Conan Exiles probably won’t be tied to it.
What is shown in the trailer, however, looks quite developed and ready to play. Especially since the effort for a game of this type would probably be relatively low and could represent a nice gag.
