Conan: The Black Pyramid is a new action roguelite RPG coming to PC through Steam in 2027, with console versions to follow. Publisher Grindstone and developer Games Farm announced the officially licensed game during the Golden Joystick Awards.
The game brings Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes and other Robert E. Howard heroes together inside a shifting labyrinth. You can play solo or team up with a friend in two-player online co-op, with separate rewards and progression.
Five Heroes Trapped Outside Their Own Time
The Black Pyramid pulls warriors from different centuries into a place that disregards the rules of space and time. Each descent changes the labyrinth, while successive runs bring the heroes closer to learning who summoned them.
The roster includes five playable characters, though the announcement names only Conan, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes.
Games Farm pairs sword-and-sorcery action with cosmic horror, drawing on the stranger elements of Howard’s fiction. Ancient beings and reality-altering magic form part of the threats waiting inside the pyramid.
Executions, Dice and Combat Masteries Shape Your Runs
Combat spans melee attacks, swordplay, gunfire, and magic. Fighting builds toward an execution, and you choose when to use it rather than having it trigger automatically.
Character builds draw on Warrior Memories, ancient artifacts, and Combat Masteries. Dice add another decision during a run: spend them immediately for better loot or hold onto them until the stakes increase.
Co-op players keep individual rewards and progression, letting you and a partner develop your characters while tackling the same descent.
Games Farm says its visual approach leans closer to a conventional action RPG, with detailed environments and characters that support the horror elements.
Steam Playtest Registration Is Open
You can register for the upcoming playtest through the Steam page. Access will roll out in waves, and the developers plan to use feedback from those early sessions to guide development.
The first test is described as starting soon, but the announcement does not provide a date.
Conan: The Black Pyramid launches on PC in 2027, with consoles planned afterward. Specific console platforms, pricing, and an exact release date remain unannounced.
