In the upcoming survival game Conan Exiles, players will start crucified.
Funcom is working on a new survival game for PC, PS4, and Xbox One called “Conan Exiles”. A developer video revealed new information.
The player will start in a rather uncomfortable position: nailed to a cross. Conan the Barbarian will then come to the rescue, knock him off the cross, hand him the axe, and say “Now it’s your turn.”
At its core, the player must survive in a hostile world, gather resources, hunt for food, and build a shelter, with the possibility of founding a kingdom, as the developers say.
Currently, there isn’t much information about the gameplay of the game or how everything will look. However, the Funcom developers are saying all the right things, like how important combat is and the diversity it should offer.
Players can choose between first-person and third-person perspectives. If they become too powerful, neighboring countries (i.e., NPCs) will initiate a “Purge,” sending a punitive expedition to eliminate them. If the player is able – perhaps with the help of allies – to stop this Purge, they will become even more powerful.
Whether this will all come to pass, we will likely find out by summer at the latest, when Conan Exiles is set to enter Early Access on PC.
