Conan: The Black Pyramid Co-op: How 2-Player Online Works

Does Conan: The Black Pyramid have co-op?

Yes, for two players, online. The Steam description says you can face the Black Pyramid alone or with a friend, and the press release fact sheet gives the player count as “1, or 2 in online co-op”. Steam backs this up in its feature list, which includes Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op and Online Co-op.

How do rewards and progression work in co-op?

This is the one rule the developer states plainly. The Steam description says you “earn individual rewards and keep your progression”, and the announcement puts it as “You each get your own rewards and keep your own progression.”

In plain terms: your rewards and progression are yours, and your partner’s are theirs. Steam’s description adds that you can try different characters and build combinations side by side, which suggests each player picks their own hero. The studio does not spell out how hero choice works in a shared run, so that part is our reading, not a confirmed rule.

Is there local co-op or split-screen?

Steam’s feature list does not include local co-op, shared or split screen, and the page does not mention it anywhere else. We therefore write “not listed” and not “not supported”. Nobody has said it will never exist. Nobody has said it will either.

What has not been announced about co-op?

How can I find out when the details land?

The first playtest is the first public hands-on the studio has announced, but it has not said whether co-op is part of it. The playtest sign-up guide explains how to request access. The platforms page tracks which platforms are confirmed, which matters for any crossplay question, and the characters and systems sections show what is known about the heroes you would pair up.
