Conan: The Black Pyramid Announced as Roguelite ARPG with Cosmic Horror and 2-Player Co-op
Conan: The Black Pyramid has been officially announced with a trailer, revealing a roguelite action RPG from developer Games Farm and publisher Grindstone that blends sword and sorcery with cosmic horror, set for release on PC via Steam in 2027.
Something is pulling legends out of their own centuries. Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes, and other heroes wake up inside the Black Pyramid, a labyrinth that ignores the rules of space and time and changes with every descent. Each run gets them a little closer to the question at its centre: who summoned them here? Players choose from five distinct characters and weave crushing melee blows, precise swordplay, ranged gunfire, and magical attacks into powerful combos, dodging danger and staggering enemies with precisely timed parries to unleash brutal executions. Every run presents new routes, new combat possibilities, and new story events across ancient ruins, ravaged kingdoms, and occult halls ripped from different eras of time.
Players can fight alone or with a friend in two-player online co-op, earning individual rewards while keeping their own progression. Each character has multiple Warrior Memories with unique weapon and ability combinations that drastically change playstyle, and ancient artifacts, upgradable Combat Masteries, and permanent upgrades via Wakestones let you forge your own unstoppable champion. A dice mechanic adds a twist to loot: dice collected during a run can be rolled to push reward rarity upward, or saved for later when the stakes are higher.
