Exclusive Dark Horse Comics, Inc. digital comic book will provide fans with a unique look into the savage world they soon get to explore in Conan Exiles
Funcom and Dark Horse Comics have announced that creative teams in both companies are now working on a new Conan Exiles digital comic book that will be made available in January. Conan Exiles is an open world survival game set in the brutal lands of Conan the Barbarian. By reading the comic, fans will get a unique glimpse into the events that take place in the savage Exiled Lands. The creative team includes Michael Moreci (Writing), José Luis (Pencils), and Andy Owens (Inks), as well as Gavin Whelan (Art Director) and Anders Finér (Senior Concept Artist) on the Funcom team.
“We are incredibly excited to work with Dark Horse Comics again,” says Funcom CEO Rui Casais. “Conan the Barbarian and the comic book format goes hand-in-hand, and Dark Horse has brought the Conan stories to life for years. The Conan Exiles comic will give a unique context to what players themselves will be doing and the world they will explore in the game.”
Funcom and Dark Horse Comics, Inc. previously worked together on the exclusive digital comic book for Funcom’s 2008 massive multiplayer game, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. The comic book was distributed to gamers and Conan fans worldwide, and was a key piece in the company’s marketing campaign for the 2008 bestselling game.
Funcom is also excited to announce that the studio will do a live gameplay stream on Twitch.tv/Funcom this Friday December 16. Creative Director Joel Bylos and Community Manager Jens Erik Vaaler will show the unique thrall gameplay live for the first time. Players will be able to capture enemy bandits, drag them back to their camp, and crush their will in the Wheel of Pain. Players can then place out these thralls as guards, archers, and even special blacksmiths, tanners, and other crafters that unlocks unique new recipes.
