Conan, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes step into an action Roguelite RPG, facing cosmic horrors in a world of swords and sorcery. Play solo or team up with friends online.
Košice, Slovak Republic — November 11, 2026 — The Black Pyramid is calling warriors from different eras, and Conan has answered the call.
Today, during the Golden Joystick Awards ceremony, RPG publisher Grindstone officially announced Conan: The Black Pyramid, developed by veteran game studio Games Farm.
This officially licensed action Roguelite RPG is set in Robert E. Howard's shared universe and is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam in 2027. The game's Steam store page is now live.
A mysterious force is summoning legendary heroes from across different eras. Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes, and other heroes awaken within the Black Pyramid. This labyrinth defies the laws of time and space, constantly changing with each descent. With every adventure, they draw closer to the core mystery: Who summoned them here?
Players can control five different characters, flexibly combining melee, swordplay, firearms, and magic in combat. Each battle gradually builds up power for finishers, leaving the decision of when to unleash this destructive force entirely up to the player.
Through Warrior Memories, Ancient Artifacts, and Combat Mastery systems, players can craft unique character builds. Additionally, players can collect dice during their adventures, choosing to use them immediately for better loot or save them for riskier, critical moments.
You can embark on this adventure alone or invite a friend to explore the Black Pyramid together in two-player online co-op mode.
