Publisher Funcom announces a May 29th release date for Conan Unconquered, which will put Petroglyph's barbaric RTS game in the hands of players a full day prior to the previously planned May 30th release. Not to overwhelm you while you digest this huge shakeup, they also reveal the game's official system requirements, even no there's no one fewer day to buy a brand-new rig if it turns out your system isn't up to snuff. They also say the game will include a previously unannounced day and night cycle, but this is not shown in their new trailer, which discusses the game's co-op mode and the challenges this presents (it also still shows the old release date). Here's word along with the minumum [sic] and recommended specs:

The upcoming RTS game created by the Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph is now due to release late afternoon on May 29th, one day earlier than previously announced.

“We're eagerly looking forward to launch and to getting Conan Unconquered into the hands of players. The game has really come together and although the skill cap is high, it's tremendously fun to play,” says Lawrence Poe, Chief Product Officer at Conan Unconquered publisher Funcom.

The upcoming RTS has already received positive previews, with several journalists comparing it to the highly successful game They Are Billions. The game has a number of features that set it apart from the other games in the genre, however. Among them the fact that you control a hero, as well as the army you amass. Also, the game’s co-op mode and the newly announced challenge mode, in which players can challenge one another on a unique map with a unique leaderboard, look to be welcome additions to the RTS genre.

The system requirements were also revealed today, and are as follows:

Minumum:
Windows 7, 8 or 10 (64 bit)
8GB of RAM
Core i3 (dual core) @3Ghz+ or equivalent
