Conan Playable Demo for Xbox 360, PS3 availability announced by THQ
THQ has announced that the official game demo of Conan is now available as a free download via Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 console. The PlayStation 3 demo will be available via the PLAYSTATION Network from October 11 onwards.
The Conan game demo will allow players to take on the role of Conan and test their skills with a number of fighting moves, combinations and weapons.
The Conan video game is inspired by Robert E. Howard’s original stories. Players will follow the journey of Conan the Cimmerian as he fights an epic battle against a variety of enemies and an elusive power that threatens to consume the Hyborian world.
According to Bob Aniello, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, THQ, “The 75th anniversary of Robert E. Howard’s first published story and the popularity of Conan provide a great backdrop for us to offer consumers a power-packed, action adventure video game this year.”
“The playable demo will give players a chance to step into the world of Conan, sample a variety of deadly attacks and explore an environment recognizable to fans of Howard’s original stories,” he added.
In the Conan playable demo, the famed barbarian finds himself stranded in the Barachan Isles, a haven for pirates and thieves. A terrible plague known as the Black Death has spread across the land, and Conan must escape before it consumes him as well.
Players will take on the role of Conan as he unleashes his savagery against a horde of scurvy pirates. The demo will allow players to execute a portion of the game’s 100+ fighting moves and combinations as Conan decimates his foes using a variety of deadly weapons, hand-to-hand combat and even his surrounding environment.
The final Conan video game is scheduled for release in North American on October 23, 2007 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.
