Conan® is an all-new action combat game featuring a story of adventure, true evil, and brutal, visceral combat. The game follows the journey of Conan the Cimmerian as he fights an epic battle against a variety of enemies and an elusive evil power that threatens to consume the world.
Using anything and everything at his disposal, including hand-to-hand weapons, objects in the environment, and powerful elemental magic, Conan takes the fight to his enemies across the massive continent of Hyborea.
- Intense combat action: Playing as Conan, use an incredibly deep and gratifying combat system that provides a variety of fighting styles to battle enemies. Utilizing multiple movement trees, string together combos and fight foes using grappling moves, hand-to-hand combat, swordplay, and dual-wielded attacks. Over 20 swords, axes, halberds, shields, and spears can be picked up off enemy corpses.
- Interactive environments: Highly interactive combat locales and a real-time physics engine allows you to pick up any weapon, shield or torch, in sight. Use the environment to your advantage in combat, crushing foes with falling pillars or throwing them onto spikes.
- Cinematic gameplay experience: Thanks to the power of next-generation hardware, the game takes advantage of next generation cinematic graphics, special effects, lighting and shaders. Dozens of independently acting A.I. enemies participate onscreen at once.

This is the God of War like Conan game, not the MMO.
I was really looking forward to this game but suddenly announcing it is coming out in a couple weeks vs 6 months gives me a bad feeling in my gut. Especially with the competition, I have a hard time believing that was planned, more like forced.
Any thoughts?
