Conan: The Black Pyramid Leveling Guide

Read This First: Announced, Not Playable

Conan: The Black Pyramid is announced, not playable. It was revealed November 11, 2026, for PC via Steam in 2027, with playtest sign-ups open and no first-test date given — and as a roguelite it has runs, not levels, so this guide teaches the loop the announcement describes.

Conan: The Black Pyramid is an action roguelite RPG from Games Farm, published by Grindstone, set in Robert E. Howard’s shared universe under official license, per the MMODude game page. It was announced November 11, 2026, at the Golden Joystick Awards, per the announcement coverage.

Sword and sorcery meets cosmic horror inside a labyrinth that changes with every descent, per the same page. There is no launch date beyond 2027, consoles follow PC, and the first playtest starts soon — no date has been given — so everything below is what the announcement shows, not a played build.

The Heroes: Legends Out of Their Centuries

Something is pulling legends out of their own centuries. Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes and other heroes wake up inside the Black Pyramid, a labyrinth that ignores the rules of space and time and changes with every descent, per the official premise quoted in the announcement coverage.

Five playable heroes are planned, including Conan, Solomon Kane and Dark Agnes, per the same coverage — and Conan is playable at launch, with the others arriving later, per the MMODude game page. The two remaining heroes have not been named, so no full roster can be listed yet.

The Pyramid: A Labyrinth That Shifts

Conan left his throne in Aquilonia to follow whispers into the darkness of the Black Pyramid, per the trailer narration — and inside, the legendary barbarian is restored to his youthful form and imprisoned, per the announcement coverage. To escape the pyramid’s depths, you guide Conan through multiple levels while unravelling the mystery of his captor.

Each run gets the heroes a little closer to the question at the centre: who summoned them here? The labyrinth changes with every descent, so no map, route or level order can be learned in advance — the pyramid is the progression, and every descent teaches it again.

Runs and the Hub: Death Is Not the End

The game employs a roguelike structure where death results in resurrection at a central hub, allowing players to unlock new abilities and advance the narrative between runs, per the announcement coverage. A failed descent is not lost progress: the hub is where the run’s gains turn into the next run’s strength.

Combat is tactical despite the visceral focus, per the same coverage: Conan wields a primary weapon with three-hit combo attacks culminating in finishing moves, paired with a ranged secondary option. The game is playable solo or in two-player online co-op, with room-based runs, per the MMODude game page — and whether co-op progress is shared has not been announced. Our Conan: The Black Pyramid Farming Guide covers the loot the runs pay.

Common Mistakes

Treating the announcement as a playable game — it was revealed November 11, 2026, for 2027, and the first playtest has no date yet.
Looking for a level cap, XP table or class guide — it is a roguelite of runs and hub unlocks, not levels.
Listing all five heroes — only Conan, Solomon Kane and Dark Agnes have been named.
Learning a map for the pyramid when the labyrinth changes with every descent.
Paying a third party for Conan: The Black Pyramid Gold or items — no listing was verified and the game is not out.
