Blood, babes and body bisection: Five new screenshots of Conan

Next-gen violence – and fanservice – coming your way with this gratuitous screenshot update of Conan for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We keep you abreast on the latest with Nihilistic Studios’ slash-em-up that looks to give ol’ Kratos some direly-needed competition. By CROM!

Looking at the screenshots, there’s a lot to look forward to. Not only are the models looking sharp and convincing, but the environments themselves are spiffy enough to earn the title of next-gen. Blood effects are there, and applied very liberally, yours truly might add – a very important aspect in getting into the role you actually play in the game, which is a musclebound barbarian with a very big sword and a very nasty penchant for dismemberment. Speaking of dismemberment, it looks like you’re going to have more than just the chopped-off arm or leg, as you can see in one of the screenshots, most of the soldiers are bisected – that’s split in half – from head to unmentionables. Awesome.

More updates as we get them, and yes, we know about the money shot in one of the screenshots. Enjoy (but not too much).
