The rogue-lite party-game was originally scheduled to release in September 2019. Then it was Q1 2020. After that, it was Q2. Which, of course, in turn became “later this year”. But this time we mean it for real. After a series of brilliant ideas have been implemented and a new bunch of cute and deadly mobs and traps have found their way to Hyboria, the development is nearly complete. Conan Chop Chop will release in early 2021, bigger and better than originally intended.
“If we had launched this year, there’d be half the number of cute pigs in the game. And you can’t launch a Conan game without that” concludes Funcom’s Chief Creative Officer Joel Bylos. “And besides, the only crunch we want in our Conan game is the crunch of bones beneath our sandalled feet.”
Following a resurgence of cutesy online co-op games, the scope of Conan Chop Chop has increased. The hack ‘n’ slash, which supports both couch co-op and online co-op on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, has been augmented with more random events, new traps, and vicious minibosses roaming the world of Conan the Cimmerian Barbarian. While the previous number of possible item combinations was a measly 14 trillion, it is now too high for the human brain to fathom, guaranteeing infinite replayability in a beautifully designed procedurally generated world.
Conan Chop Chop is developed by Mighty Kingdom and published by Funcom. The hack ‘n’ slash rogue-lite was cheekily announced on April 1st, 2019 and was perceived to be an April Fools’ Day joke. It was then unveiled as a real game during E3, where press and influencers got the first hands-on preview. The game will release on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Swedish game developer 10 Chambers Collective – formed in 2015 by nine industry veterans known for PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2 – continues to regularly update their first game, GTFO, a 4-player co-op action/horror FPS. It has been described as “Left 4 Dead” meets “Aliens”, and uses a Rundown concept, where the game is regularly updated with new expeditions (i.e., maps, scenarios, enemies, etc.) that replace the previous ones. Today, they’re launching a surprise update where the current Rundown is extended with four new expeditions. They’re also revealing how many survived the hardcore game (hint: not many) and their secret behind GTFO’s 96% positive Steam score.
GTFO takes place in a terrifying underground facility called “The Complex,” where your team’s survival relies on your ability to communicate, coordinate – and count your bullets. The game recently reached one year in Early Access. To celebrate, 10 Chambers is now surprise-releasing four new expeditions to the current Rundown 004 / Contact. If you’re interested in seeing how two of the new expeditions look, the developers uploaded a total of 100 minutes of uncut gameplay from the latest update – here and here.
“Looking at the statistics of death rates for the last Rundown, Contact, we decided our community of Prisoners need to be tested more before they’re ready for the next Rundown chapter of GTFO,” says Simon Viklund, Narrative Director & Composer. “We’re adding four new expeditions on top of the eight that are already in the Rundown. Let’s see if the survival rate increases.”
On the day of GTFO’s one year anniversary, 10 Chambers released a short cryptic video that showcased some raw numbers from the game’s first year: Horrifying data such as the toughest expedition (R2E1, the last expedition of Rundown 002, with only 1.4% success rate) and the most deadly expedition (R1A1, the first level of the very first Rundown, that has killed almost 2 million prisoners). So far, as few as 1.85% of the players have completed the two last expeditions of Rundown 004 / Contact.
Since the last Rundown, which was released in October and introduced matchmaking in Alpha state, Steam review scores for GTFO have soared. The co-op FPS now sits at a recent review score of 96% positive.
“I think the secret behind our high positive Steam rating is our transparency. We’re very open with what kind of game GTFO is: Very challenging, not for the faint of heart, but also very rewarding when you succeed. We even have a warning text on the product page – encouraging people to research before buying,” says Ulf Andersson, Creative Director & CEO. “The exceptionally high positive reviews recently – 96% – should have to do with adding matchmaking in the latest big update. We will keep updating this feature, and maybe we’ll reach even higher.”
The developer team will now take a short break to enjoy the holidays – at a safe distance – with their families and loved ones. When they’re back, they’ll continue developing the next Rundown, number five, which is already in the planning phase according to GTFO’s public roadmap.
GTFO Early Access is available on Steam for $34,99, but to celebrate the update, it’s right now 20% off!
Today, Vertigo Games and Jaywalkers Interactive are releasing the free Trailer Park update for Arizona Sunshine on Oculus Quest, adding another horde mode map to the untethered VR zombie apocalypse. Set in one of the more advanced campaign environments of Arizona Sunshine, the Trailer Park map is an entirely new content update to the popular VR zombie shooter’s multiplayer horde mode, where up to four survivors team up in co-op to fend off wave after wave of hangry undead for as long as they can. Vertigo Games is simultaneously dropping a PC VR beta for the Trailer Park map on Steam, now accessible to all owners of Arizona Sunshine on Steam.
The Trailer Park horde mode map transports up to four players to a closed off-area set in a grungy lot full of scruffy old trailers. Gather your fellow survivors and watch each other’s back as you scavenge the rundown trailers for precious loot and explore the alleyways and narrow side streets in a map with many places to hide… or get ambushed. Stand your ground against wave after wave of undead Freddies for as long as you can.
Arizona Sunshine is a first-person shooter built exclusively for VR that immerses you in a post-apocalyptic southwestern America overrun by zombies. Move around without restraints as you face hordes of zombies in a series of huge southwestern American environments, including treacherous canyons and deep, dark mines. Handle weapons with real-life movements and take on the undead with up to three friends in online co-op multiplayer. Thanks to destructible environments, zombie mutilations and cinematic, compelling experiences, Arizona Sunshine offers unique VR realism. Putting the undead back to rest is more thrilling and satisfying than ever before.
The Trailer Park map is now available as a free update to all existing owners of Arizona Sunshine on Oculus Quest and a PC VR beta is now live and accessible to all owners of Arizona Sunshine on Steam. If you don’t have this must-have VR title yet, you can get Arizona Sunshine on all major VR platforms for $39.99.

Today we are welcoming you on the bridge of a futuristic carrier. You are in command and the mission is simple: conquer the isles of the Archipelago making the most of the combined arms army that you have on board.
This is what Carrier Command players from the ’80s were experiencing and this is what MicroProse is bringing back in this modern and ambitious remake.
What will be the Carrier Command 2 experience?
Carrier Command 2 is Strategy, Planning and Teamwork on a scale that is both engaging and manageable. True to MicroProse’s heritage, Carrier Command 2 is all about meaningful decisions.
Strategize: Gather intel from your vehicles’ radars, pick your tools of the trade, and launch your attacks where the enemy is weaker. The approach you take to a situation will play a big part in the outcome.
Plan: Once you have taken an island you will need to exploit and defend the resources it provides. Ensuring these supply lines remain open will be key to your survival. Think ahead.
Teamwork: Make the most of different unit synergies and create combined arms assaults to efficiently win battles. On top of that, get into each and every vehicle and take part in the action. Lead from the front!
A Strategic Challenge
In the near future humanity’s hunger for mineral resources and fossil fuel has only increased, and a newly discovered chain of islands offers an abundance of both…to whoever can take control of them first.
Your mission: Command a mighty carrier ship, multi-role aircraft, amphibious tanks, drones and more as you attempt to establish a secure network of bases within the archipelago.
Unfortunately, you are not alone.
Every step of the way, you will be competing against rival AI or human carrier commanders whose technical capabilities are a match for your own, are every bit as determined to succeed, and have no qualms about blowing you out of the water!
Success or failure will come down to not just superior overall strategy but also the chance to turn the tide of the battle by assuming direct control of individual vehicles to defend your bases or stage a direct attack on your enemy!
Winning combination
Carrier Command 2 combines a sophisticated real-time strategy with detailed vehicle simulation, allowing the player to choose exactly how and where they focus their attention. This unique blend of gameplay also makes for a huge amount of replayability.
