Conan Exiles, the brutal barbarian MMO from Funcom, also looks good in LEGO. A fan has painstakingly recreated the game’s trailer as a LEGO animation.
Conan Exiles stands for many things: wild barbarians, desolate deserts, a ruthless struggle for survival, bloody sacrifices to cruel gods, dark dungeons, and last but not least swinging penises. All of this may not seem fitting for colorful LEGO bricks, yet thanks to the tireless work of a LEGO and Conan fan, there is a LEGO trailer for Conan Exiles that hardly pales in comparison to the original in (image) violence and blood.
Conan Exiles – Slavery, Blood, and Murders – In LEGO!
In Conan Exiles, it’s all about naked survival, as you start as a penniless barbarian on a cross and must prove yourself in the merciless struggle for survival against animals, monsters, nature, and other players. Only barbarians who can craft equipment, weapons, and shelters from the meager resources of the wasteland will succeed.
All of this is shown in the regular trailer of Conan Exiles, but the Lego version is not lacking in comparison. There, for example, the gigantic avatar of the god Mitra is created as a giant LEGO figure and tramples through the wasteland. Meanwhile, various Lego barbarians escape from their crosses and immediately start clubbing and enslaving each other.
Conan Exiles – LEGO Trailer – LEGO Heads Will Roll!
The violent scenes look particularly impressive with LEGO figures falling apart and being disassembled into their individual parts. The video – which the diligent fan took four months to make – shows various monsters and natural disasters, and at the end, the apocalyptic encounter between the Mitra avatar and Set’s serpent. We have embedded both trailers, the original and the Lego version, here for you. Enjoy!
What do you think of the LEGO trailer? Would you have the patience to endlessly record Legos with stop-motion techniques and compile them into a film? Or do you think LEGO is silly and believe that such silliness ruins the serious character of Conan and his wild world? Let us know in the comments!
