PARIS, FRANCE – March 16th, 2026 – Gameloft, a leader in the creation and publishing of games, today announced one of the most iconic crossover events ever to hit March of Empires, welcoming legendary warrior Conan the Barbarian to the battlefield as a brand-new epic Champion — alongside the fierce and formidable Valeria, his equal in strength, skill, and presence.
Starting March 16 and running for four weeks, this limited-time event invites players into a narrative-driven saga packed with exclusive content, powerful rewards, and progressive unlocks. More than a simple character release, this is a month-long adventure that blends classic sword-and-sorcery fantasy with the strategic warfare March of Empires is known for.
Inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic portrayal, Conan the Barbarian is one of the most powerful Champions ever introduced to the game. Built for frontline combat and close-quarters dominance, Conan is designed to feel truly unstoppable, delivering raw power and heroic presence on the battlefield. Fighting by his side is Valeria, a deadly and fearless warrior who brings speed, precision, and tactical mastery. Crafted as a true co-lead of the event, Valeria stands shoulder to shoulder with Conan as a relentless force of leadership and aggression.
Throughout the event, players will unlock both Champions through dedicated story arcs, complete special missions and challenges, and earn exclusive rewards. Each Champion features unique abilities, stat profiles, and deep narrative integration that unfold progressively week after week, encouraging players to return and experience the full scope of the saga.
Conan and Valeria each arrive with their own exclusive legendary equipment, forged specifically for this event. Players can collect and upgrade signature weapons, unique armor pieces, and themed accessories and artifacts inspired by classic barbarian fantasy. Special gear sets unlock powerful combat synergies, further amplifying each Champion’s dominance — but only for those who act fast, as all event equipment is available for a limited time only.
