SDCC 2026: Conan the Barbarian Comes to UnGodly in Major New Partnership with Azra Games

Posted on by Leave a comment

Azra Games has announced a new partnership with Heroic Signatures to bring the iconic Conan the Barbarian to its upcoming 4th-generation dark fantasy RPG, UnGodly. Additional details about the partnership and Conan’s appearance in UnGodly are coming soon.

Conan the Barbarian is one of the most iconic characters in fantasy. Created by Robert E. Howard, Conan represents strength, survival, and an unbreakable will. His story of conquest and resilience has defined the sword-and-sorcery genre for generations, making him a natural fit alongside UnGodly’s scarred, Primal heroes and its unforgiving dark fantasy world.

Azra Games will celebrate the partnership at San Diego Comic-Con with exclusive UnGodly x Conan the Barbarian items, including an SDCC-only limited edition crossover comic book (limited to 1,000 copies), collectible pins, and T-shirts. By Mel Rubi, you can find it at the Titan Entertainment booth #5537, near Lobby C.
