The legendary warrior Conan the Barbarian arrives in Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel next week (April 9th) as part of an all-new DLC, coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
In addition to adding Conan the Barbarian as a playable character, the DLC introduces a treacherous new realm, a new epic boss, and launches alongside a free update that brings local co-op for the very first time.
Players can master three distinct Paths of Legend through his sub-classes:
- King of Aquilonia: A heavy great sword wielder focused on raw power, devastating cleaves, and punishing dashes.
- Stygian Gladiator: A defensive powerhouse utilizing a sword-and-shield to stun enemies and scale survivability with every Triumph stack.
- Zamorian Rogue: A lightning-fast dual-wielder who converts Triumph into evasive mobility and endless dash charges.
The new world that I touched upon earlier is Conan’s own realm of Stygia. According to a press release that I received, it introduces “unique visibility challenges and illusion-driven threats.”
When it comes to the local co-op, two players will soon be able to take on waves together in shared runs. This has been built and refined based on player feedback, and there’s even the option for the guest player to drop in and out with the host being able to retain their progress.
Mike reviewed the Survivors-like when it arrived on consoles late last year. In his review, he said: “Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is one of the better auto-shooters that I’ve played in the last couple of years. There’s potential for tons of build variety, the level design is a cut above, and the whole thing feels pretty well balanced.”
