Awareness of the Conan property is experiencing a strong resurgence, with two upcoming movies, new novels, a comic series, collectible toys et al. Led by Game Director Gaute Godager, the development team includes many experienced hands. The combat system will probably appeal to players who enjoy a fairly quick pace and more active involvement since it involves choosing where to aim your melee strikes. Adding further interest value, you'll be able to lead NPCs within a squad-based component. The art direction appears to capture the essence of the franchise, the screenshots seen to date have been very striking, and at E3 last week, the game looked even better running live.
