THQ has cause for celebration after securing several well known talents for its upcoming Conan video game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Conan is an action adventure featuring a world of adventure, true evil and brutal, visceral combat. Based on author Robert E. Howard’s original stories, players will follow the epic journey of Conan the Cimmerian as he battles a variety of enemies and an elusive power that threatens to consume the Hyborian world. The Conan video game joins a robust lineup of licensed products for the Conan brand, which is currently celebrating the 75th anniversary of Howard’s first
published story.
Ron Perlman, Golden Globe winner and Emmy-nominated actor, lends his voice to the iconic barbarian in the Conan video game. Perlman is best known for his character acting in films such as “Hellboy,” “Blade II ” and “Alien: Resurrection.” He also played “Vincent” in the cult classic television series “Beauty and the Beast” and has appeared in countless stage plays. In addition to his film, television and theater credits, Perlman has served as a voice actor for many video games and animated series. Fallout fans will immediately recognize him as the narrator of the first three games and he lent a ominous authority to Slade in the “Teen Titans”.
Susan O’Connor brings a wealth of talent to the Conan video game as its chief storyline writer. An industry veteran of nine years, she has worked with a variety of video game genres, including real-time strategy, first person shooters, action adventure, role-playing and massively multiplayer online games including Gears of War.
Michael Reagan has been contracted to create the musical score. Reagan has enjoyed a successful career as an award-winning composer, songwriter and producer for film, television and video games including God of War 2.
