News: Conan on Next-Gen consoles?

The Swedish studio Paradox Entertainment gets an option to purchase all game rights for the Conan franchise.

Paradox Entertainment has acquired 20 percent of Conan Sales Company. The company holds all rights to the Conan franchise made famous by the Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer movies of the '80s and the Conan television series of the '90s. The deal means that Paradox will play a part in on-going licensing partnerships, including a film deal with Warner, a games license for TDK.

"The potential in the Conan character, stories, and fan base is huge," said Theodore Bergquist, CEO of Paradox. "We plan to increase licensing activities immediately in all media, including newly written books, comics, and computer games."

We can probably expect a new Conan movie followed by some games based on it. I hope Schwarzenegger plays in it!
