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.

Minumum:
Windows 7, 8 or 10 (64 bit)
