Funcom heeft vandaag samen met Koch Media een deal aangekondigd dat Koch alle publicaties zal verzorgen voor hun game. Het gaat om Conan Exiles, die momenteel in Early Access fase verkeert op de Xbox One en Steam. De daadwerkelijke release van de volledige versie staat op begin 2018, zo laat het bedrijf vandaag weten. Samen met Koch Media gaan zij ervoor zorgen dat de game zowel fysiek als digitaal verkrijgbaar is.

Conan Exiles is een open-wereld survival game waarin spelers de kans krijgen om alles te bouwen. Je kunt als speler kleine huizen tot gigantische steden bouwen en een flinke open-wereld verkennen met je medespelers. Dit alles zal zich afspelen in de welbekende wereld van Conan the Barbarian.

In this online survival game players get to build anything from small homes to entire cities, explore a huge open world, team up with other players, or seek to dominate their enemies through brutal player vs. player combat. The game is set in the world of Conan the Barbarian, and players get to explore vast landscapes and either fight each other or cooperate to build a community of their own.

 

Rui Casais, Funcom CEO

“We are thrilled to be working with Koch Media again in bringing the world’s greatest barbarian back into store shelves. Their experience as a world-leading publisher combined with their extensive retail network will help bring Conan Exiles to an even wider audience. The fact that they know and understand Conan is also a huge benefit that will ensure all aspects of publishing the game will be executed in the true spirit of the Conan the Barbarian brand.”

Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Koch Media CEO

“We are delighted to revive our successful cooperation with Funcom which we established during the work for Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer. The immense open world experience and comprehensive survival and sandbox elements in Conan Exiles impressed us. We are proud that we can take part in the next phase of this project and will focus all our know-how to build the road for a successful retail launch of the game for PC and consoles.”
