During the PC Gaming Show at this year's E3, Australian developer Mighty Kingdom unveiled a surprise announcement: that joke roguelike, stick figure Conan game is very real. And it's coming out very soon.

Conan Chop Chop is set to release this September, but it started out as what appeared to be an April Fool's joke clip posted to publisher Funcom's YouTube channel. The game features a crudely-drawn Conan chop-chopping various baddies like skeleton warriors and stick-figure-eating werewolves. You can take control of the titular barbarian or team up with up to four friends in local couch co-op as they control Bêlit, Pallantides, or Valeria. And, of course, there will be plenty of loot to gather, combos to unlock, and randomly-generated levels to explore. Check out the official trailer below.
