Mighty Kingdom and Funcom have announced that their upcoming game Conan Chop Chop has been pushed into 2020 and the title will now come in the first quarter of next year. The delay will now allow the developers to work on a multiplayer mode for the game and add it in the game. This means that now Conan Chop Chop will ship with the highly requested multiplayer mode.
Conan Chop Chop was initially teased on April 1, 2019, when most of the fans thought that the game was just an April Fool’s joke. However, the confirmation came on E3 2019 when the title was officially revealed and we also got to see a little bit of the gameplay as well. Conan Chop Chop is an action-adventure roguelike title.
The developer says that the added time will allow them to put more features in the game because the companies have decided to increase their investment in the game. This will help make a bigger and better game. The most highlighted feature to be arriving in Conan Chop Chop is multiplayer because it was highly requested by the fans after the game was officially revealed two months back.
Founder and CEO of Mighty Kingdom, Philip Mayes, commented on the delay:
We had an absolute blast showcasing the game at E3 and Gamescom earlier this year. It was especially gratifying to see how much fun people had playing the game in co-op mode. The teamwork, the banter, the way people moved ever so sneakily towards their near-death companions in order to pick up their gold when they fall… We couldn’t have been happier with the reception.
One of the things we get to do with the extra time is expand multiplayer from just couch co-op to also include full online multiplayer. This has undoubtedly been THE most requested feature after we started showing off the game, so we’re very excited for the opportunity to bring that in.
Conan Chop Chop is now slated for a release in Q1 of 2020 on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
