Dark Agnes in Conan: The Black Pyramid: Confirmed Facts

Is Dark Agnes playable in Conan: The Black Pyramid?

Yes. Steam lists Dark Agnes among “such iconic heroes as Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes, and more”, and the publisher’s press release names her in the feature list as one of five playable heroes.

What do we know about her role in the game?

The only confirmed material is the shared premise. Dark Agnes, Conan and Solomon Kane are pulled out of their own eras and wake up inside the Black Pyramid, a labyrinth that “ignores space and time” and changes with every descent. Steam says you will piece together “the dark secrets of their past”, which suggests story content built around each hero. No ability, line of dialogue or scene for Dark Agnes has been shown.

Who is Dark Agnes in Robert E. Howard’s stories?

Dark Agnes de Chastillon is a fictional character created by Robert E. Howard. According to Wikipedia she is the protagonist of three stories set in 16th century France. They were not printed until long after Howard’s death.

That is a smaller body of work than Conan’s. It also means less public source material for readers to compare against the game. Keep in mind that the book version is background: the studio has not said how closely the game follows any of those stories.

What has not been announced about Dark Agnes?

The studio calls the roster’s combat melee, swordplay, ranged gunfire and magic without matching styles to names. Any expectation of her fighting style is a guess until the studio shows her kit.
