With only a few more days to go until launch, Petroglyph and Funcom have released a new trailer for Conan Unconquered, focusing on the co-op aspect of the game. Spliced with the trailer are interviews with the guys at Petroglyph who know a thing and then some about RTS games (hint: They worked on Command & Conquer).
The team had their work cut out for them, as unlike C&C, Conan Unconquered focuses heavily on co-op. “We’re trying to make it as cooperative an experience as possible,” explains Executive Producer Ted Morris.
In co-op mode, each player will have their own hero and army, but they will share resources and most of the buildings. “Where the challenge comes in, is in trying to coordinate the fight with more challenging mobs,” says Senior Game Designer Patrick Pannullo. “It is not simply going to be about double the number of enemies. Instead, the increased difficulty will mainly be about what kind of mobs you face and where the attacks will come from.”
Conan Unconquered releases on May 29th.
