Conan: The Black Pyramid Announced as Roguelite Action RPG for PC

The game pairs Robert E. Howard’s heroes with run‑based progression and cooperative combat to deliver repeatable, replayable dungeon runs.

Overview

  • Publisher Grindstone and developer Games Farm publicly announced the game on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and posted a Steam page and trailer ahead of a 2027 PC (Steam) launch window.
  • The Black Pyramid frames itself as 'sword and sorcery meets cosmic horror' and places five playable heroes from Robert E. Howard’s universe, including Conan, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes, inside a reality‑warping, multi‑era labyrinth.
  • Core roguelite systems include permanent upgrades called Wakestones, collectible dice that change loot odds, and multiple 'Warrior Memories' per character that alter playstyles across runs.
  • Combat mixes melee, ranged, and magic with timed parries, executions, weapon and relic swapping, status effects, and two‑player online cooperative play that preserves individual progression.
  • The announcement confirms PC via Steam for 2027 but gives no firm release date, pricing, demo plans, or confirmed console platforms, though some coverage notes console versions are expected to follow the PC launch.
