Just in case you weren’t clear on the point that Funcom considers Conan Exiles to be the wave of the company’s future, this should drive it home for you. The studio announced that it has signed a deal with Koch Media to bring the survival sandbox to physical game shelves in the future.
This means that when Conan Exiles officially releases early next year on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, it will also be showing up in retail stores, giving the title extra presence and (hopefully) additional sales. Koch and Funcom previously partnered to sell box copies of Age of Conan back when that was the current golden child of the studio.
Funcom CEO Rui Casais expressed confidence in Koch Media: “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.”
