In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurks
around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own
unique destiny under Conan's reign. Have you not felt the urge when a great
single-player RPG ends to have your character live on and interact
with other fellow travelers? To enter an even greater world? This is
that opportunity, to have a detailed RPG all about you, your choices
and your character, and if you win -- to share that victory at an even
greater stage. A presentation of the game,
including more information about its features , will be held at E3 in
May.

The Conan brand is destined to become THE fantasy license of 2006
as over 45 companies are working on a massive coordinated re-launch of
the world's greatest fantasy hero.
