Conan Unconquered is a survival real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Petroglyph and published by Funcom. It was released on May 29, 2019.

Set in the Conan the Barbarian universe, your city is under endless siege from the forces of Hyboria. You must gather and manage resources, build up your army, and research new technologies to survive wave after wave of assault from the savage hordes, and remain unconquered.

Description

From the Star Wars: Empire at War and Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph comes the first-ever strategy game set in the barbaric world of Conan the Barbarian.

Conan Unconquered is a strategy game set in the barbaric world of Conan the Barbarian where you must build your stronghold and assemble an unconquerable army to survive the savage hordes of Hyboria. Wave after wave of increasingly more difficult enemies will rush at your gates and you will need to manage resources, research new technologies to advance your defenses, and recruit an ever-growing army if you are to save survive utter destruction.

You can choose to play the game entirely alone in single-player, but Conan Unconquered can also be enjoyed in full two-player co-op allowing for a truly unique, shared multiplayer experience. Players share a base, but both can freely construct new buildings and amass an army to reach their common goal.

Similar to games such as They Are Billions, the enemy hordes will keep coming at you and how long you can resist the invasion depends entirely on your ability to build your stronghold and lead your army. Gameplay is real-time, but you can also pause at any time to issue commands and start construction of new buildings. Battles will be bloody and savage with players having to deal with anything from fires raging through their stronghold to piles of corpses spreading death and disease.

The savage horde is at your gates. Will you fall or will you remain unconquered?

Notes

• It is a likely scenario Funcom will release additional content for free.
• There are no plans for the same kind of nudity that Exiles has
• A console version is currently not planned, as RTS has not done well on the console market and as RTS controls are hard to mimic on consoles, unless a game is made for consoles specifically. It is possible the developers will try to create a prototype for internal testing in the future, because the console may be capable of handling the gameplay.
• The developers have some ideas for DLCs, but they are focusing on the main game currently.
• So far, modding support has not been mentioned.
• The original prototype, before they met up with Funcom, was based on a fantasy generic. There would have been creatures and magic. The concern was how well the RTS, with survival elements, would fit in a fantasy setting.
• It takes inspiration from They Are Billions and Frostpunk.
• The game is inspired by the Black Colossus story.
• Cross-game rewards for Conan Exiles are currently not planned.
  • Age of Conan implemented an 'Unconquered Mode' to celebrate the game. Players must survive as long as possible and will receive rewards as they progress.
• Originally, the game was set to release on May 30. However, on May 24, this changed to late afternoon on May 29.
