Conan Chop Chop was 'announced' on April 1 as a joke, but was then being delayed.
Now we have a final, final release date: Chibi Conan and pals will start chopping their way through ghouls on February 25, 2020.
Chop Chop is described as a "roguelite" by publisher Funcom, and as a "party game" for up to four players, with both online and local co-op . The Nuclear Throne but with swords, spears, and hammers instead of guns.
Whether or not it can match the brilliance of those games we'll find out next year. The flatness of the vector-style art doesn't do much for me, but the cleanliness of its colors and lines is perhaps part of the joke—it diverges as much as possible from what one expects from a Conan the Barbarian game.
I've embedded the new trailer above if you want to get a better sense of Conan Chop Chop's chopping.
