FunCom and Koch Media have announced a new publishing partnership for Conan Exiles, meaning that the latter will handle the publishing activities for the game, including a physical release across PC, PS4, and Xbox One when the game leaves early access in early 2018.
"We are thrilled to be working with Koch Media again in bringing the world's greatest barbarian back into store shelves," says Funcom CEO Rui Casais. "Their experience as a world-leading publisher combined with their extensive retail network will help bring Conan Exiles to an even wider audience. The fact that they know and understand Conan is also a huge benefit that will ensure all aspects of publishing the game will be executed in the true spirit of the Conan the Barbarian brand."
"We are delighted to revive our successful cooperation with Funcom which we established during the work for Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer," says Koch Media CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz. "The immense open world experience and comprehensive survival and sandbox elements in Conan Exiles impressed us. We are proud that we can take part in the next phase of this project and will focus all our know-how to build the road for a successful retail launch of the game for PC and Consoles."
The game has just entered Xbox One's Preview program (although without manhood on Xbox One in North America), but it's good to hear PS4 owners can get in on the fun early next year. What's your platform of choice?
