Conan game featuring a story of epic brutality, sheer evil and visceral combat. Conan takes from God of War is in the introduction of multiple combat styles, though Conan has his own trustworthy sword, he prefers to get whatever weapon he may get on his hand. Conan can use a wide variety of weapon, from swords to spears to axes, wielding each one with a deadly efficiency. There are three major kinds of fighting styles to which Conan has access. One-handed weapons are balanced but not particularly exceptional in any area, though they allow Conan to use a shield to augment his defense. Dual-wielding one-handed weapons is another option; it turns Conan into a buzz saw of death, allowing him to tear through enemies with blazing speed, although he sacrifices power to do so. Finally, two-handed weapons, such as broadswords and pole arms, are the real powerhouses; they're slower than the other weapons available, but in Conan's hands, even a single blow to an enemy can be fatal.

Playing as
Conan, players will take advantage of a deep and gratifying combat system that offers a variety of deadly weapons, fighting styles and interactive environments to battle hordes. Conan video game will harness next generation hardware to deliver a cinematic game play experience, complete with special effects, lighting and a powerful, epic soundtrack, to capture the essence of the Conan universe.
