With 2020 coming to a close, Funcom and Mighty Kingdom have finally confirmed that Conan Chop Chop will not be releasing this year. It’s been delayed to early 2021 with Funcom chief creative officer Joel Bylos stating that, “If we had launched this year, there’d be half the number of cute pigs in the game. And you can’t launch a Conan game without that.”

Bylos is also seemingly looking to avoid crunching staff to try and push the game out too quickly (as if referencing another title that seemingly suffered that fate). “And besides, the only crunch we want in our Conan game is the crunch of bones beneath our sandaled feet.” This is the fourth delay for the action adventure hack and slash title though, so it remains to be seen if it can stick to its new deadline.

Conan Chop Chop is a hack and slash title where one to four players team up to take down the evil wizard Thoth-Amon. Chopping through hordes of foes, they’ll explore various locations like Koth, Vanaheim, Hyperboria and more. Of course, there’s also loot to earn, from weapons and trinkets to legendary items. Maps are completely randomized and there are different weapons and abilities to try with new ones unlocking for subsequent playthroughs. It’s currently slated to release for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch.

When you think of the Conan franchise, you think of grizzled men with big swords, along with scantly clad women, also with big swords. But Conan Chop Chop is a much a different take on the series, with chibi-styled models that cute up the place. The game was scheduled to come out about two weeks from today, but now it seems the hack and slash title has suffered a delay.

As announced by publisher Funcom in a press release, the rogue-lite will be pushed back to give the game more time to be the best that it can be. Unfortunately, no solid date is given, only a general Q2 2020 window. Chop Chop is one of many, many titles that’s been hit with the delay flu this year, it seems.

While we don’t know when the game will come out now, we’ll keep you updated on anything new we learn. Whenever that might be, Conan Chop Chop will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

Elden Ring

The dream collaboration of Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin feels so close and yet so far. Set in an open world with combat on horseback and ruins to explore, Elden Ring is touted as a “natural evolution” to the Dark Souls series. If you’ve missed that kind of dark fantasy world, then this is good news indeed. Elden Ring is currently in development for PC, Xbox One and PS4 with a rumored release of June 2020.

Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition

The quintessential “Everything that is Street Fighter 5” package, Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition has 40 fighters, including newcomers like Gil and Seth. It also has more than 200 costumes, save for certain content like Fighting Chance outfits or the Capcom Pro Tour DLC. If you’ve ever, ever felt curious about owning everything for Street Fighter 5 – save for good netcode but thankfully there are mods – then this is the definitive package. It’s out on February 14^th for PS4 and PC.

The Yakuza Remastered Collection: Day One Edition

Though you could technically purchase the digital bundle now and receive remastered versions of Yakuza 3 and 4 on the PS4, Yakuza 5’s remaster is out on February 11^th. Not only that but The Yakuza Remastered Collection: Day One Edition, a physical bundle for all three games, releases on the same day. With multiple playable characters, the series’ trademark of memorable sidestories and awesome combat, the bundle is a must-have for every fan.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV will finally get its Western localization for PS4 and PC on February 28^th. Once again, you’ll build up your region in the Three Kingdoms era, fashion an army and fight to conquer China. With dozens of cities across 340 regions and over 1000 officers, there’s more than enough to keep fervent strategy fans busy.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows might be the most intriguing fighting game in a while. You battle with teams of three fighters – which consist of characters from the anime/manga like Child Emperor, Silver Fang, Genos and Tatsumaki – but also have the option to choose the powerful Saitama. The problem is he won’t be available at the start of the fight. When he does arrive, everyone goes down in one hit but things can get crazy when two Saitamas face off. One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows releases on February 28th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Conan Chop Chop

A cartoony roguelike with online and local co-op, Conan Chop Chop pays homage to the classic barbarian in its own ways. From an April Fool’s joke to a full-fledged game with tons of armor and weapons, unlocks, procedurally generated levels and new abilities, Conan Chop Chop looks like a fun hack and slash title to while away the hours. It releases on February 25^th for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch.

Dreams

Media Molecule’s magnum opus has been in development for years and is finally nearing release. Dreams offers a traditional story mode where players explore different titles as part of “Art’s Dream”. However, the real appeal is in using the creation suite to craft your own games – or art and music – to share with others, and in turn experiencing theirs. With a comprehensive set of tools, a home space for players and oodles of tutorials to ease players in, Dreams will be quite the experience when it arrives on February 14^th for PS4.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War

Four playable characters with customizable abilities and weapons, new areas like a zombie zoo teeming with horrors, and a Zombie Tank await in Zombie Army 4. The story is simple: Zombie Hitler is back with his hordes of undead. So shoot, crush, burn and electrocute them to bits. It really doesn’t get any better but you also have the X-Ray Kill Cam, environmental traps like Zombie Sharks and much more to savor. Zombie Army 4 releases on February 4^th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection

A compilation of some of the best side-scrolling action titles in history, this Legacy Collection features Mega Man Zero 1 to 4 and Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent. Along with a Casual Scenario Mode, players can partake in several new mini-games, the new Z Chaser mode, the art gallery or just listen to their favorite tunes. Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is out on February 25^th for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch.

Two Point Hospital (Consoles)

The spiritual successor to Theme Hospital, Two Point Hospital is, surprise surprise, all about managing a hospital. Sounds straightforward but with quirky staff and strange illnesses, you’ll have your hands full. Be prepared to build different rooms, train your staff and ideally rake in the profits. Two Point Hospital is already out on PC but will be coming to Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch on February 25^th.

Monster Energy Supercross 3

Subliminally influenced by all the Monster Energy product placement in Death Stranding but can’t stomach the drink? Monster Energy Supercross 3 could be the next best thing when it releases on February 4^th for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch. Based on the official 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season, the title offers a dedicated career mode with 100 riders, 15 tracks and a track editor. Along with various animation and model improvements, online multiplayer now supports dedicated servers.

Neverwinter: Infernal Descent

Cryptic Studios’ free to play MMO continues to thrive with the Infernal Descent expansion. Along with new characters, a new adventure zone around the Vallenhas Estate and the new Infernal Citadel dungeon, players will experience a new storyline based on the D&D campaign for Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus. Currently available for PC, the expansion is out on February 25^th for PS4 and PC.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics

If you’re getting tired of waiting for Gears Tactics or Wasteland 3, then perhaps The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics will fill that turn-based tactical void. Based on the hit Netflix show, players will lead the Gelfling clans into battle against the Skeksis for the glory of Thra. There are 14 playable characters, who can each be assigned jobs and different abilities, and over 50 different battles to overcome. Look for the title to release on February 4^th for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Remember Funcom’s Conan Chop Chop, a top-down hack and slash title based on the Conan franchise? It was unveiled at the PC Gaming Show at E3 2019 and was slated for release in September. After facing a delay, Funcom has announced a new release date – February 25th. Check out the latest trailer below.

Developed by Mighty Kingdom, Conan Chop Chop employs a more cartoonish style to go with its roguelike gameplay. It sees players teaming together to take down Thoth-Amon, a dastardly wizard before he revives Xaltotun. Up to four players can play together and there’s support for couch co-op as well.

Conan Chop Chop will be releasing for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC in February 2020. It’s a fairly packed month with games like Media Molecule’s Dreams, Cygames’ Granblue Fantasy: Versus and Rebellion’s Zombie Army 4: Dead War releasing. We’ll see if the roguelike can stand out in the crowd.

Of all the games to make an appearance at the PC Gaming Show, Mighty Kingdom’s Conan Chop Chop was perhaps the weirdest one to be showcased. As a rogue-lite action adventure title, it features overheard dungeon crawling and hack and slash combat that’s similar to old-school Zelda titles. Check it out below.

The aesthetic reminds us a bit of Castle Crashers and looks rather fetching, especially considering all the bloodshed that’s going on. Four player co-op support is included, and you can gather coins to pick up better weapons and items. Randomized maps, powerful bosses, and a strong selection of moves to master are all included.

Conan Chop Chop will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch on September 3rd. A variety of warriors to choose from, quests to embark on, and a plot to save the world can all be expected. Stay tuned for more information from the PC Gaming Show as it rolls on.
