THQ have today announced a next-gen action adventure based on the Conan stories by Robert E. Howard. I wonder if they'll use Arnie's likeness or not. Anyway, the game will be developed by Nihilistic Software and is scheduled to ship for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in early 2008 and is provisionally titled "Conan".

"The strength and diversity of the Conan brand lends itself extremely well to the interactive format," said Jack Sorensen, executive vice president, worldwide studios, THQ. "Through intense combat, familiar environments and next generation visuals, we believe Conan fans and action adventure enthusiasts alike are certain to embrace this future addition to the Conan universe."

"The Conan brand has captured the hearts of dedicated fans for 75 years," said Fredrik Malmberg, President and CEO, Paradox Entertainment. "We have enjoyed tremendous success with our brand extensions and look forward to working with THQ to bring this upcoming chapter of Conan’s ambitious journey to a video game format."
